Nutritious, providing vitamins and minerals

In this rabbit meat, we can find a high content of vitamins B3, B6, and B12.

A portion of rabbit meat provides more than 100% of the daily recommended amount of the 'athlete's vitamin', commonly referred to as vitamin B3 or niacin. This vitamin plays a crucial role in obtaining energy, improving the circulatory system, or controlling blood sugar levels. It also helps reduce blood cholesterol.

It also provides three times the requirements of vitamin B12, whose deficiency can lead to anemia, weakness, and fatigue in your body. It especially helps to give us energy and improve our mental agility and neuronal functioning.

On the other hand, the minerals we can find in this meat are phosphorus, selenium, and potassium. And in smaller proportions, it contains iron and zinc. This iron, along with the large amount of vitamin B12 we find in this meat, makes it a perfect ally to beat anemia.

Very versatile

This rabbit meat can come in many formats, as there is a wide variety of cuts with which we can prepare all kinds of recipes. We can use the whole or half rabbit, cut up, use its loin, its liver, make hamburgers or sausages, etc.

You can also use it as a healthier and more digestible alternative in many traditional chicken dishes, replacing it in the steps needed for each recipe.
