Similar to other mammal trotters, goat feet have uncharacteristically tougher skin and loads of connective tissue, meaning they need to be slow-cooked until the meat is tenderized to a point where they\'re fit for consumption. With trotters, the longer you wait, the sweeter the fruit. Letting them simmer renders more collagen, a chemical responsible for healthier, tighter skin, joint pain relief, and muscle strength.
