Horsehair and the Pescatarian Diet

Horsehair refers to the hair taken from the mane or tail of horses. While not commonly used as a food ingredient, it appears in some medications, supplements, and cosmetic products due to its fibrous and durable properties. Horsehair is more familiar in non-food applications, such as musical instrument bows and upholstery.
