History and Tradition of Jamaican Oxtail
The origin of stews like oxtail can be traced
back to our colonial heritage. Enslaved
Africans on plantations were given very
meager amounts of protein and often had
to make do with cheaper cuts of meat.
Packed with protein, minerals, and vitamins
oxtail is healthy and nutritious. However
its nutritional crowning jewel is none other
than its high collagen content which brings
oxtail into the realm of the superfood.
