There has always being a loggerhead as to whether it is Good or Bad to eat cow skin. While some group of Scholars are of the opinion that edible cow skin (Wele) does not have any nutritional value!
However, this other Group of Scholars totally disagree with that statement but rather choose to qualify it this way; by saying cow skin has low nutritional value compared to other protein sources of meat.
*The nutritional value
A 100 grams of boiled, thick cow skin contains approximately 224.65 kcal energy, 46.9 g protein, 6.80 g carbohydrates, 1.09 g fat, approximately 43.9 g water, and 0.02 g fiber. For micronutrients, it contains iron (4.3 mg), calcium (61 mg), magnesium (12 mg), phosphorus (36 mg), and small amounts of zinc (6.79 mg).
Moreover, *wele* still has something useful for the body since it contains skin-collagen and some amount of protein. So, *Wele* actually has something and will contribute little to your diet
