Nutritional values of rabbit meat
NZW Rabbit Cheek et al. in 1987 described rabbit meat as a wholesome tasty product. Compared with most other meat, such as beef, chicken, lamb and pork it is high in protein and low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium. The meat is white, fine-grained, delicately flavored, nutritious, and appetizing and can be prepared in over 300 different ways ( USDA 1963 ). Because Cholesterol and fat level in rabbit meat is much lower than chicken, turkey, beef, and pork, rabbit meat has been used and is suitable for special diets, such as those for heart disease patients, diets for the aged, low sodium diets, weight reduction diets and for many others who want to return to natural/organic food.
