About Moose
Moose is a large wild cervid used as game meat; the name can also refer to the animal itself. As an ingredient, it is sold as cuts of red meat and sometimes minced or preserved. The flavour is generally described as robust and lean, while texture varies by cut and preparation.
Moose meat may be roasted, braised, grilled, or cooked in stews, with slower cooking often used for tougher cuts. Edible organs are separate ingredients and should not be treated as equivalent to muscle meat; this page refers to the animal as a food source, not to a particular cut or processed product.
