Beef heart is an easy entry into offal for people who think they don't like offal. Cooked like a steak or slowly as part of a stew, you would be none the wiser unless told. It is extremely nutritious, rich in folate, iron, zinc, and selenium. It is also very densely packed with complex B vitamins.

Want an uber healthy meal for your kids? Get some heart mince and simmer with carrots, onions and strained tomatoes for a delicious Bolognese to accompany pasta or rice. Or cook slowly in a dutch oven with all your favorite veggies for a healthy comfort food dinner.
