Rabbit meat: Why is it worth eating?

Several significant benefits accompany the consumption of rabbit meat. First and foremost, it stands out for its substantial amount of easily digestible protein. This is no trivial matter—100 grams (3.5 ounces) of rabbit meat contains as much as 27 grams (1 ounce) of protein. This translates to a fantastic impact on muscle condition, among other benefits.

The second key advantage is that rabbit meat doesn't contain much fat. This is important for those watching their figure. With only 5 grams (0.2 ounces) of fat per 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of the product, it is exceptional compared to other types of meat. Furthermore, consuming rabbit meat doesn't cause concerns regarding indigestion. It's no wonder that this meat is recommended for children and people suffering from digestive system ailments.

The broth prepared with rabbit meat can also be described as a true vitamin bomb. High levels of vitamins A, K, and B12 accompany a range of important minerals such as magnesium, selenium, and iron.
