Oxtail is meat from the tail of cattle, and the figures here describe it raw. It mainly provides protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 20g of protein and 10g of fat, including 4.2g of saturated fat. It also provides vitamin B12, iron and zinc, with 5.6mg of zinc per 100g.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while zinc contributes to normal immune function and wound healing. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Cooking methods and added ingredients can change the fat, salt and energy content of an oxtail dish.
