Oxtail is meat from the tail of cattle. The figures here describe the meat only, stewed with added salt, rather than the bones or any accompanying sauce. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 31g of protein and 13g of fat per 100g. It also contains minerals, including 3.8mg of iron and 8.8mg of zinc per 100g.
Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, while zinc supports normal immune function. As this preparation includes added salt, its salt content is relevant to people monitoring their intake. The full nutrient figures, including energy and salt, are in the tables below.
