Emu: The Nutritious, Low Fat Alternative

Emu is Canada's newest, lean red meat bird. Tender, juicy, and flavourful, emu meat is the choice for the health conscious person who wants a low fat and cholesterol diet that still contains red meat. Emu is a very lean (97% fat free) red meat, similar to beef in both taste and appearance. It is higher in iron, protein, Vitamins A, C, and B12 than beef and lower in cholesterol than chicken. Since emu is raised naturally, the meat contains no chemical additives.

When it's Emu, There's No Comparison!
