$8.00

Healthy Longhorn Tongue deliciously. Sick of serving the same roasted chicken breast or lean grilled steak each night? Bored with fish and pork? Why not step out of your comfort zone and try a different cut of meat at Iron Rock Ranch Longhorn Shop?

One option: Longhorn tongue. While it’s not a staple in the United States, beef tongue is often used in Latin American cooking, frequently showing up in Mexican and Puerto Rican dishes. With a pleasantly tender texture and relatively mild taste, cow’s tongue is a great place to start if you want to expand your culinary horizons into organ meats. And, as a bonus, cow tongue is great for you, supplying nutrients you need to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

Basic Nutritional Breakdown

Like most meats, Longhorn tongue is a moderate source of calories. A 3-ounce portion will set you back about 240 calories, which come from the meat’s 16 grams of protein and 19 grams of fat. All that protein helps fuel your active lifestyle – it’s a source of all the amino acids you need to build lean muscle. And the fat comes from a mix of healthy unsaturated fats, along with 7 grams of less-than-healthy saturated fat. This means that Longhorn tongue is not a lean meat – but that doesn’t mean you can’t include it in your diet from time to time.

Zinc and Other Minerals

Eating Longhorn tongue will net you a few essential nutrients, including several minerals. One of the most abundant is zinc, an essential mineral important for cell growth and especially crucial for immune function. A 3-ounce portion of Longhorn cow’s tongue has about 3.5 milligrams of zinc, which covers between 32 and 44 percent of your daily zinc needs, depending on your sex. You’ll also get smaller (but still significant) amounts of iron and phosphorus, along with traces of potassium.

Plenty of B-Complex Vitamins

Longhorn tongue isn’t just packed with minerals, it’s a good source of vitamins, too. It has B vitamins, which collectively support your metabolism, helping to break down proteins, fats and carbs into usable energy for your tissues. Longhorn’s tongue is especially rich in vitamin B-12, which keeps your blood cells healthy and promotes good nerve and brain function. Eat one serving of Longhorn’s tongue, and you’ll get 2.6 micrograms of B-12 – enough to meet your needs for the day. You’ll also get significant amounts of vitamins B-2, B-3 and B-6.

Serving Longhorn Tongue

If you’re new to eating Longhorn tongue, fear not – cooking organ meats is not as intimidating as you might think. Start by thinly slicing the tongue so that it’s easier to cook – if the butcher has not peeled the tongue, use a knife to do it – and braise it in a slow cooker until tender. Use the tongue as a filling for sandwiches, or use a richly-spiced braising liquid to make flavorful tongue to use as a filling for tacos.
