About Lamb, New Zealand, imported, heart, raw
Raw lamb heart is lean, high in protein, and low in fat compared to most red meat cuts. It hasn't been cooked yet, so the texture is dense and firm - it cuts like a tougher muscle, which it is. Heart is sometimes called the most "meaty" of organ meats since it's entirely muscle with little of the distinctive mineral punch of liver or kidney. Soaking before cooking improves flavor; low-and-slow or a long braise is the typical approach.
