About Asian water buffalo meat
Asian water buffalo meat is the edible muscle of domestic water buffalo. It is sold as cuts or minced meat, with appearance and texture depending on the animal, cut, and handling. The raw meat is typically red, and its flavour is broadly savoury; leanness and tenderness can vary across cuts.
It is cooked in ways suited to the specific cut, from quick cooking of tender portions to slower cooking of tougher ones. Fresh, frozen, minced, and cured or otherwise processed forms are different products. The record does not specify a cut, so no single texture or cooking method applies to all water buffalo meat.
