Make the leap to rabbit:
A lean, healthy protein, our wholesale rabbit is as
versatile as chicken and even tastier.
In Europe, you’ll often find rabbit meat in supermarkets and on the family dinner table at home, while in the U.S., rabbit is less widely available and most often consumed in restaurants. Chefs in the American South have a long tradition of cooking rabbit. In other parts of the country, you mostly find rabbit on Italian, French, and Spanish menus and at restaurants focused on farm-to-table cuisine.
It’s time for more restaurants to jump on the rabbit bandwagon.
A Nutrition Powerhouse That’s Flavorful, Versatile & Economical
Rabbit tastes a bit richer and more complex than chicken, but rabbit meat is still mild enough to have broad appeal and it’s adaptable to many cuisines. Nutritionally, rabbit has the highest percentage of protein and lowest percentage of fat per pound of all other available meat options. In fact, rabbit is considered a “functional food,” one that provides vital benefits beyond simple nutritional value. Rabbits are also an eco-friendly meat. Their environmental impact ranks slightly higher than that of broiler chickens and on par with pork. Rabbit manure is also rich in nutrients. It can improve soil structure and be used without composting as a fertilizer for gardens and flower beds.
A whole rabbit fryer is versatile and economical. Each whole fryer provides two or three entree servings. Whole rabbits can be roasted or braised, or the rabbit can be broken down into parts. Rabbit saddles are best grilled or roasted. Rabbit legs are best braised. Ground rabbit meat can be used for burgers or meatballs. Braised rabbit can be pulled for sandwiches. Creative chefs can employ multiple techniques and construct dishes showcasing rabbit prepared multiple ways on one plate.
As wholesale rabbit meat becomes more widely available, and chefs become more familiar with how to use it, the popularity of this approachable, healthy white meat is bound to grow.
