Happy weekend people, I'm too sure you're all good.
In search of what to write, I stumbled on a very mind blowing article on Mercado Jauarez blog and felt like Sharing.
It's all about goat meat. It baffles me often when I see people selecting over and over turkey and beef to goat meat. Aside Being the sweetest meat in this world(to me though 🧐), there are other uncommon facts about goat meat
Check out the following points to have a rethink
Goat is the most eaten meat in the world.
Although many Americans have not even tried goat, it's eaten all over the world. Africans, South Americans, Central Americans, Middle Easterners, Indians, Australians and New Zealanders tend to eat the most goat meat, but this tasty meat is popular in Europe as well. More people eat goat than chicken or beef, and surprisingly, goat milk is even more popular than cow's milk worldwide.
The popularity shows no signs of slowing down either. Goat is the fastest growing segment of the worldwide livestock industry. Every day, more people are trying this delicious meat and falling in love.
Goats have been becoming popular in the United State for about 25 years.
Arguably, the goat population in the United States started boom around 1993. That year, Australia and New Zealand exported several herds of the South African Boer goat into Texas. Now, proud Texans love to dine on goat, and the trend is quickly spreading north as well.
According to some estimates, there are about 450 million goats in the world. That's about 1 goat for every 14 people. Approximately, 3 million goats call the United States home, and about 44 percent of those horned creatures live in the great state of Texas. Texas may be considered cattle country, but we're also the country's leading goat producer.
Goat is healthy
Eating goat meat isn't just popular. It's also incredibly healthy. Goat is considered a red meat, but it has less fat and cholesterol than beef, pork or chicken. A 3-ounce serving of goat has only 122 calories, but it packs in 23 grams of protein.
Goat meat is environmentally friendly.
Goats are environmentally friendly compared to many other meat animals. They are browsers, which means they eat weeds and bushes, rather than just grass. That tends to have a lower environmental impact than grazing animals like cows. The idea that goats eat garbage is a myth—if you do see a goat chewing on a can, he's likely just trying to get at the sweet tasting glue that holds the label onto the can.
Also, goats don't take up as much land as cattle. You need about an acre to support a cow, but you can put anywhere from 10 to 15 goats on an acre of land. Finally, goats are more efficient with their food than cows. If you give a cow and a goat the same amount of feed, you get more milk from the goat. That's stunning! Over time, those differences really add up.
Goat meat is delicious
In addition to all the environmental and health benefits of goat, the meat is delicious. It has a sweet, slightly gamy flavor that many people absolutely love. It's also versatile. You can eat goat in curries, Mexican dishes, Jamaican stews or just between a couple pieces of bread as a sandwich.
