What raw beef heart means here

Beef heart is an edible organ that is structurally a working muscle. This page uses 100 g raw as its reference amount and is not a value for cooked heart, ground beef or a recipe. Trimmed connective tissue and cooking loss can change the final portion, so raw and cooked weights should be logged separately.

Macros per 100 g raw

The record lists 112 kcal, 17.72 g protein, 3.94 g total fat, 1.383 g saturated fat, 0.18 g trans fat and 0.14 g carbohydrate per 100 g raw. Total sugar, fiber and added sugar are recorded as 0 g. These are reference values before cooking and before any marinade, oil or sauce is added.

Iron, potassium and cholesterol

Per 100 g raw, this entry records 4.31 mg iron, 287 mg potassium, 98 mg sodium, 7 mg calcium and 124 mg cholesterol. It also lists 2 mg vitamin C and no vitamin A or vitamin D. The supplied record does not provide a vitamin B12 amount; readers looking specifically for B12 should verify the exact database item rather than borrowing a value from another cut or preparation.

Preparation and portioning

Keep raw beef heart refrigerated, trim and prepare it with clean utensils, and cook it thoroughly before eating. Use the raw weight for this page only if the ingredient is weighed raw; once cooked, use the cooked weight and account for added ingredients. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and follow local meat-safety guidance for storage and reheating.
