>I had asked this before, but didn't see an answer. I have started to eat my >beef raw, what a nice surprise. very flavorful and tender. Can I also eat >organ meats raw? Or should those be cooked? I like beef hearts and liver. Yes ,you can eat them raw . I will be myself not very keen in eating a liver from a commercial cow ,raw or cooked . But from grass fed animal i go ahead. When i 1st ate a totaly raw piece of beef i was wondering why i ever cooked them before, it was so good yet i was uneasy with the red color. Is your beef grass fed ? the taste when eaten raw without seasonning is radically different. I was buying at the end of the "estive" season (when animals are free range for 6 months in the mountains in France ) beef from animals who graze on a wild diverse flora, drinking pure water and excercizing a lot those animals were fed silage ( salted , fermented grass clippings and hay and grass in the winter. The meat of those animals that i was considering healthy animals was in big contrast with a purely grass fed beef. that i got from an other region in France ( with certainly not as wild environment) It was not so good tasting anymore in comparaison So despite they were killed after 6 months of a pure diet in the mountains ,the meat was leaving an after taste due to their not so natural winter diet. Same kind of comparaison here. I got in december beef from jersey cows raised on certified organic grass and hay plus a small handfull evrey day of organic feed ( grains and raw left overs of the" omega" oils extraction). { sound quite natural food} Now i have beef from an other breed ( prehistoric looking higland cattle),and just that , may be, make the difference, but who eat only grass and little bit of hay in the winter . The taste of the latter is so much better. So i will encourage anyone to make the effort of asking a truely grass fed animal and getting curious to know exactly where those animals come from and what they actually eat. It is worth it. specially if you want it raw. jean-claude
