About Kidney
Kidneys, commonly sourced from beef, lamb, pork, or poultry, are nutrient-dense organ meats enjoyed in various global cuisines, including British, French, and Middle Eastern. They are rich in high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports red blood cell production and energy metabolism. Additionally, kidneys are an excellent source of selenium, a powerful antioxidant that helps combat oxidative stress. Despite their nutritional benefits, kidneys are also high in cholesterol and purines, which may not be suitable for individuals with heart disease or gout. They are often prepared in hearty dishes like steak and kidney pie or stews, where their tender texture and bold, earthy flavor shine. Moderation is key to enjoying kidneys as part of a balanced diet, ensuring you benefit from their nutrients without overconsuming these organ meats.
