Brittle fat

Small white flecks of fat that make meat tender

Answer 1

Marbling refers to small white flecks of fat that are evenly distributed throughout the muscle tissue of meat. This fat is responsible for adding flavor, juiciness, and tenderness to the meat. Additionally, marbling can vary in its quantity, with more marbling often indicating a higher quality cut of meat. It is not related to dark meat or brittle fat, but it may contain some omega-3 fatty acids depending on the animal's diet.
