2. The nutritional value of ostriches
Ostrich meat belongs to red muscle, looks similar to beef, and has the characteristics of high protein, low fat, low cholesterol, and low calories, and the muscle is tender with a delicious taste. According to the latest measurement by the China Ostrich Breeding and Development Association, the protein content in ostrich meat is as high as 21.8%, the fat content is only 1.9%, and the cholesterol content is only 48.0 milligrams per 1 kilogram. Because ostriches mainly eat grass, the sodium content in their meat is relatively low. The sodium content per 100 grams of ostrich meat is only 43 milligrams, lower than chicken (77 milligrams) and beef (63 milligrams), which meets modern people's need for a low-sodium diet. The iron content in ostrich meat is relatively rich, with an iron content of 2.3 milligrams per 100 grams, higher than chicken (0.9 milligrams) and beef (2.2 milligrams), making it especially suitable for pregnant women and people with anemia. Because of the above advantages, ostrich meat has a relatively high market price
