About Poultry meat
Poultry meat is the edible muscle tissue of domesticated birds, used in a wide range of cooked dishes. It may be pale or darker in colour and has a mild to savoury flavour; texture varies by species, cut, and cooking method.
The name encompasses different birds and cuts, including breast, thigh, and other portions, sold bone-in or boneless and with or without skin. Fresh, frozen, cooked, cured, and minced forms differ in moisture, fat, and other ingredients, so the broad term does not imply one uniform product.
