About Tongue
Tongue, a type of organ meat, is known for its tender texture and rich flavor. Commonly used in various cuisines, including Mexican, French, and Korean, tongue is often prepared as tacos, stews, or thinly sliced for sandwiches. Nutritionally, tongue is a good source of protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins like B12, which contribute to energy production, immune support, and red blood cell formation. It is relatively high in fat, particularly saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation depending on dietary goals. Despite its fat content, tongue provides essential nutrients that can complement a balanced diet. When properly cooked, it becomes a flavorful, nutrient-dense option for those exploring organ meats or looking to incorporate variety into their protein sources.
