The "Centre de l'Émeu de Charlevoix" prioritizes freezing and canning of emu meat products to preserve it's quality and to avoid the use of preservatives.
Emu meat is tender, has a bright red colour and a sweet flavour. Besides, the emu is not fed hormones, antibiotics or bone meal.
Emu meat is extra-light (2 to 4.7% fat) and low in cholesterol. Furthermore, non-saturated fats in this meat are good for one's health.
Emu meat is an excellent source of protein, iron, zinc, B12 vitamin and has a high level of potassium.
|
| Emu meat meets the needs of those who are looking for a healthy and diversified food and also persons with ecological concerns or those who need a restrictive-food diet (low in fat, high in iron, gluten allergy). For example, "Austravoix" emu sausages are particularly good for people who are allergic to gluten. |
