About Cow tongue
Cow tongue, a delicacy in various global cuisines, is a nutrient-rich organ meat prized for its tender texture and rich flavor. Commonly found in Latin American, Eastern European, and Asian dishes, it is often braised, boiled, or grilled to bring out its natural savoriness. A 3-ounce serving provides approximately 240 calories, 19 grams of fat, and 16 grams of high-quality protein, making it a substantial source of energy and vital nutrients. Cow tongue is packed with essential vitamins such as B12, vital for red blood cell formation, and minerals like zinc and iron to support immune function and oxygen transport. However, its high fat content, particularly saturated fat, means it should be consumed in moderation. Whether served as tacos de lengua, sliced in sandwiches, or added to stews, cow tongue is versatile and flavorful while providing both nutrition and indulgence.
