The Health Benefits of Consuming Organ Meats

Organ meats have been consumed for as long as humans have eaten meat, but they have fallen out of favor in recent years in western civilization. 

Liver, kidney, heart and other animal organs from organically raised, grass-fed animals are some of the most nutrient-rich foods you can eat. Unfortunately, that is not how most animals are raised today.  In today’s world, organ meats can be very toxic, because "conventional" meat comes from animals that are hormoned up and fed low nutrient, genetically modified grains.

Many traditional cultures and their medicine men, including Native Americans, believe that eating the organs from a healthy animal supports the organs of the eater.  There are countless reports about the success of these types of traditional practices.

Organ meat is a nutritional powerhouse, loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other compounds vital to your health. Liver in particular is packed with nutrients, which is why predatory animals eat it first and why it has been so highly prized throughout history.  In nature, most animals go straight for the organs of their prey, saving the muscle meats for later. This is because animals instinctively know that organ meats are the densest source of nutrition.
