WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

- Favorable fat-to-protein ratio for satiety and macro balance
- Collagen-rich cut that becomes gelatinous when slow-cooked
- Great for batch-cooking to keep keto meals on hand
- Pairs well with low-carb rubs and sugar-free sauces
- Versatile: smoke, braise, pressure-cook, or roast
