Health
benefits:
The nutritive value of the goat
meat is increasing in health management of the people today. The amount of saturated fat in goat meat is less than
the total amount of unsaturated fats, which may be important in human nutrition.
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are in liquid form at room temperature,
are known to decrease the risk for heart disease and stroke.
Less saturated fats and relatively
high proportion of unsaturated fats makes a goat meat as good healthy meal. The
good fats (unsaturated fats) improve the
blood cholesterol levels, ease in inflammation, stabilize the heart rhythms,
plays many beneficial roles.
Based on the
research they have found that the goat meat helps to lowers the blood cholesterol
and reduces the risk for arthrosclerosis and coronary heart disease and the
goat meat can be included in the healthy human diet.
Some basic cookery rules:
1. Cook
the goat meat at low temperatures due to its low-fat content and lack of
marbling (small streaks of muscles found within the muscle) the goat meat can
loosen the moisture and toughen quickly if it is cooked at high temperature.
2. Cook
the goat meat with the moisture.
3. Next
is as usual can add the marinade on the meat before cooking and cook with moist
heat such as stewing.
I didn't use to prefer goat meat because of its fat content, but if this is true, I guess now I can start eating- good blog for meat lovers!
ReplyDeletetanx u dips hmm yea have a healthy food live long life...
ReplyDeletenice blog! thanx for keeping this random musings alive by posting regularly. But bad news is I dont eat Mutton.
ReplyDeleteGood post Madhu and this is in fact news for me!! I thought goat meat is a red meat and should be avoided... Although I eat non-vegetarian food, but I would advocate for vegetarianism: The reasons are plenty and goat consumes a lot of vegetation, so technically it is bad for the environment. Just my 2 cents...
ReplyDeletehooofff!!! I got another great reason to eat goat meat... I would suggest everyone to try making a perfect steak of the goat meat. You can make it medium-rare by following recipes from the internet if you have an oven at your place. Trust me, it's the most delicious thing that can be consumed with a paint of BBQ sauce around it. And it's healthy too...!!!
ReplyDeleteWell many people around the world have the misconception that goat meat has high amounts of fats and cholesterol but it's totally opposite. As you already discussed that stewing is the best way to cook, i also insist to try braising your goat meat by adding spices.
