About Cooked heart

Cooked heart is a nutrient-dense organ meat enjoyed in various cuisines around the world, including Brazilian, French, and Nordic traditions. Typically sourced from beef, pork, lamb, or poultry, heart is rich in protein and essential vitamins such as B12, riboflavin, and niacin, which support energy production and red blood cell formation. It is an excellent source of iron, zinc, and selenium, minerals vital for immune health and enzyme function. Cooked heart also contains coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an antioxidant that promotes heart health and cellular repair. Despite its many benefits, heart is high in cholesterol, so moderation is key for individuals monitoring their levels. Its firm texture and robust flavor make it versatile, commonly prepared grilled, braised, or slow-cooked in stews. Including cooked heart in a balanced diet can be a sustainable and nutritious choice for those interested in organ meats and culinary exploration.
