Goat Meat

Goat meat is a lean, flavorful red meat with a slightly sweet, earthy taste. It is generally lower in fat than beef or lamb, with a firm texture that varies depending on the animal's age and the cut.

Meat from younger goats, sometimes called cabrito or kid goat, is typically more tender and mild, while meat from mature goats has a richer flavor and often benefits from slow cooking.

Goat meat is a staple in many traditional cuisines and is commonly prepared in curries, stews, braised dishes, and grilled specialties.
