About Ostrich, round, raw
Ostrich round, raw, is cut from the upper hindquarter and resembles beef round in both its location on the animal and its lean, slightly coarse-grained texture. Protein is high and fat is low, with no carbohydrates present. The round is a working muscle and tends to be firmer and less tender than the inside cuts, making it better suited to slow, moist cooking or thin slicing against the grain for quick applications. For raw preparations like tartare, ostrich round works well given its clean flavor and very low fat, though sourcing needs to be from a reputable producer given the niche nature of the product.
