Guinea Fowl Whole (Pintades)

Guinea fowl, also known as pintade, faraona or African pheasant used to be a wild bird; it is now mostly farm-raised. With striking white spots on its gray feathers, a mature Guinea fowl will be similar in size to a pheasant, slightly smaller than a chicken.

We raise our Guinea fowls with the same care as we do our ducks. They all come from the highest-grade French breeding stock to ensure a consistently top-quality bird. We don’t use steroids, antibiotics, or growth hormones. Feed is carefully selected to meet the specific requirements of this breed.

Very lean, tender & flavorful!

Guinea fowl meat is white like chicken but its taste is more reminiscent of pheasant, without excessive gamey flavor.

They offer exceptionally high yields -a 50/50 ratio between meat and carcass: these are moist and meaty birds! They are also substantially leaner than chicken.

Chefs and home cooks seek them out because of their marvelous flavor; in restaurants, they are often chosen over pheasants because they have fewer tendons in the leg and thigh, making this part of the bird more versatile and cost-effective.
