Nutritional experts are of the opinion that camel meat is nutritionally as good as any conventional meat source. It is even said to have an edge over beef or lamb due to its low intramuscular fat, low cholesterol content, and high iron content. Camel meat quality is a function of age, breed, and type of muscle consumed.
