If you are new to ostrich meat or curious about how to cook it, it’s quite simple! Cook ostrich meat exactly how you would cook any other red meat. Ostrich is super lean (our ground ostrich is 97% fat-free) and can be substituted into any recipe that calls for a red meat, such as beef.  

Ostriches are omnivorous, meaning they consume a variety of plants and animals.  Ostriches are highly flexible eaters and wild ostriches and those raised as livestock may have different diets.  While wild ostriches eat a variety of plants, bugs, and small animals, farm-raised ostriches are usually fed a balanced diet of commercially available feeds that mimic what they would naturally eat in the wild.
