- Protein: Yak meat is a high-protein, low-fat food that’s a good source of essential amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).
- Sustainable: Yaks are more sustainable than cattle because they require less land and water, emit less methane, and convert food to energy efficiently.
- Lean: Ground yak is a lean protein that’s lower in cholesterol and saturated fat than beef.
- Versatile: Ground yak can be used in place of ground beef in many recipes.
- Environmentally friendly: Yaks are considered “nitrogen-saving” and “low-carbon emission”.

- Animal welfare: Yaks are considered highly animal welfare-oriented livestock.

Yak meat has been eaten in Eastern Asia for thousands of years. In the Himalayas, the meat of mature yaks, called “Barkhor,” is the most expensive, while the meat of younger yaks, called “doko,” is even leaner. The tail, tongue, and other internal parts are also traditionally considered delicacies
