It is characterized by its soft texture and delicate flavor, making it one of the most popular ingredients in all kinds of recipes, from stews and roasts to quick and healthy dishes.

This cut is highly valued for its low fat content and high protein value, making it ideal for balanced and fitness diets.

It is an excellent source of B-complex vitamins, such as niacin, and minerals like phosphorus and selenium, which contribute to muscular health and the immune system.
