Original analysis by NutriVerdict
Density 86 · +9 vs Poultry medianEmu inside drum scores 86 of 100, Strong band, ranking 8th of 60 in Poultry against a category median of 77. Protein leads at 44% DV, and iron follows closely at 29% DV, both figures that outpace most conventional poultry cuts.
The inside drum is a smaller, more tender muscle than the rump, and it's usually cut into medallions or strips for quick pan-frying rather than roasted whole. Per 100 g it holds 22.2 g of protein and just 1.49 g of fat, with 102 mg of sodium and no carbohydrate, fiber, or sugar. As with other emu cuts, availability outside specialty butchers or online game-meat suppliers is limited, so it isn't a cut most home cooks can pick up at a regular grocery store.
