Ostrich meat has some beneficial qualities: it's low-fat, low-calorie, iron-rich and a healthy alternative to traditional meats. Even the American Heart Association and American Cancer Society recommend ostrich meat due to its healthful qualities. Ostrich meat has 2/3 less fat than beef and just half the fat found in chicken.
