100% Grass Fed Beef Tongue

Until recently, grass fed beef tongue has been seen as somewhat niche; though for years has been a staple in many soup recipes and of course beef tongue tacos - more commonly called lengua tacos. Because the high fat content adds so much flavor, beef tongue is a gem that deserves wider usage! Beyond being delicious, it’s also high in zinc, iron and vitamin B-12, adding a strong healthy aspect to its taste.

People around the world cook beef tongue in many different ways. In Mexico it's prepared as tacos de lengua de res. In Puerto Rico, they cook lengua al caldero (tongue pot roast). In France, boiled beef tongue is prepared with mushrooms and a Madeira sauce.
