Oxtail, meat only, stewed, weighed with fat and bones

Oxtail is meat from the tail of cattle, described here as stewed meat only, with the weight including fat and bones. The supplied figures are per 100g weighed in this way, rather than per 100g of boneless meat. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 12g of protein, 5.1g of fat and 386 kJ of energy. It also provides 3.3mg of zinc.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while zinc contributes to normal immune function and wound healing. Added salt, stock or sauces can change the salt content of an oxtail dish, which is relevant for people monitoring salt intake. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
