Beef heart is one of the most useful offal of the first category. It has a dark color and dense texture. It takes a long time to prepare the heart. You can cook it like I have in a slow cooker, or you can just boil it.
In ancient times, it was believed that if you eat the heart, you can get rid of heart diseases. I agree with them even now. The heart is very useful, especially for teenagers, athletes and people who need to build muscle mass.
In addition, beef heart has a relatively low calorie content and does not contain carbohydrates.
The iron content in beef heart is twice as high as in the meat itself. There are also a lot of B vitamins, vitamins A, K, C, Ca, P, Na, Zn.
