A very lean red meat containing only 2% fat.

Mild in flavor and best when cooked medium rare over a high heat

Kangaroo is a red meat with a strong flavor, low in fat compared with other red meats, and rich in iron giving it a substantially darker appearance, similar to roast beef. It is best cooked rare to medium rare.

Most meat from kangaroo comes from the hind legs. Kangaroo meat is high in protein, low in fat (about 2%), and about 40% of that fat is long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid - considered healthy. Kangaroo meat has a very high concentration of conjugated linoleic acid when compared with other foods. Kangaroo meat is stronger in flavour than the meat from other animals (since it is game meat), is very tender, and will keep for longer than other types of meat due to the low fat content.
