Yak Meat - The Healthy Red Meat
Yak meat, deep red with little fat, is very tender. The flavor of yak meat is best described as beef-like but different; we think better. It is high in protein and lower in cholesterol, triglycerides, with a healthy balance of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. We sometimes feed small amounts of natural grains by hand in training or as treats, but our yaks are mostly grass fed and grass finished. We have a growing list of yak recipes; give it a try!
Yak cheese is also a growing delicacy. Check out the links below for more info from around the web on yak meat.
