About Goose meat

Goose meat, a rich and flavorful protein option, has been part of traditional European and Asian cuisines for centuries, particularly during holidays and festivals. Known for its tender, dark meat, goose has a higher fat content than chicken or turkey, making it particularly moist and flavorful when roasted. Nutritionally, goose meat provides a high-quality source of protein, with approximately 28 grams per 100-gram serving. It is also rich in iron, B vitamins such as niacin and B12, and monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy. Additionally, it contains zinc and selenium, which support immune function and antioxidant activity.

Health Benefits

• Rich in iron (2.5 mg per 100 grams), supporting red blood cell production and preventing anemia.
• Contains high levels of vitamin B12 (up to 10 mcg per 100 grams), essential for nerve health and DNA synthesis.
• Provides monounsaturated fats, contributing to healthier cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health.

A standard serving size of goose meat is about 3 to 4 ounces (85 to 113 grams) of cooked meat. This amount provides ample protein and nutrients while keeping calorie and fat intake within healthy limits.

How does goose meat compare to chicken or turkey?
