Pigeon is a tender young pigeon often called squab, used in many European, Middle Eastern and Chinese cuisines for its rich, gamey flavor and succulent meat. It is prized as a small roasting bird and appears in both rustic and haute-cuisine preparations. As a food, Pigeon is a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 21.4g of protein per 100g, while remaining relatively low in total and saturated fat compared with many red meats. It also supplies B vitamins (notably niacin) and selenium, minerals that support energy metabolism and antioxidant defenses. Because it is lean and provides a complete amino acid profile, squab is a good choice when you want a flavorful poultry option that still aligns with a protein-focused, nutrient-dense diet.
