Beef Heart

Our 100% grass-fed and finished beef hearts come to you with lots of love.  

The more you learn about beef heart, the more you will love it too!

Beef heart is a muscle like other cuts of steak, but it is denser with a higher nutrient content and additional protein. Beef heart contains lots of essential amino acids, zinc, selenium and phosphorus. It has more than double the elastin and collagen than other cuts of meat and a highly concentrated source of coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10. In addition to this, MayoClinic.com suggests choosing grass-fed beef (like Miller’s Bio Farm beef) rather than grain-fed beef because it may have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids.

One of our favorite beef heart recipes is also the easiest recipe ever. It’s what we like to call “set it and forget it”.

Honest Disclosure: The heart is packaged in HDPE plastic, which is the most environmentally stable of all plastics. It does not contain BPA, phthalates, heavy metals, harmful fumes, or allergens. But all plastic has the potential to leach chemicals.
