Stemple Creek Ranch — Primal Blend — Ground Beef, Liver & Heart (1 lb)

Ground beef blended with liver and heart: organ nutrition in a form you'll actually cook.

Liver and heart are the most nutrient-dense foods on the ranch, and almost nobody eats them because of the taste. Primal Blend solves that by grinding them into 100% grass-fed, grass-finished ground beef at a ratio where the organ disappears into the sauce. Beef liver brings vitamin A, B12, copper, iron and folate; beef heart brings CoQ10, B vitamins and iron. The blend is 80/20 and cooks exactly like ground beef. This is the ancestral way of eating the whole animal, made easy.

Who this is for

• You know you should eat liver and you never will on its own
• Low energy or low iron, especially women and athletes
• Parents trying to get organ nutrition into kids without a fight
• Carnivore, paleo and ancestral eaters tired of desiccated organ capsules

How to use

Swap it one-for-one anywhere you'd use ground beef. Best in meatballs, burgers, chili, taco meat and Bolognese, where the sauce and spices carry it. Start with a half-and-half mix with regular ground beef if you're nervous; most people can't tell. 1 lb brick, sold frozen. Nutrition information is for general reference only.
