Pork Heart — 5 lb Bag

Pork heart is solid working muscle, not organ meat in the way liver or kidney is — the flavor is closer to a lean cut of pork than to offal, which surprises people the first time. Trim the top, split it, rinse out the chambers, and it behaves like any tough, flavorful muscle: it wants either long moist heat or fast high heat, nothing in between.

Our customers mostly stew it, cube it for skewers over charcoal, or run it through a grinder to stretch a picadillo. It takes a sour-orange and garlic marinade better than almost anything else we sell.

• USDA-inspected pork, processed in our own federally inspected facility.
• Fresh-frozen, never aged — frozen within days of processing.
• Approximately 5 lb per bag — usually three to four whole hearts.
• Keep frozen. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before trimming.
• Local pickup only at our Hialeah plant. Bring your order number to the office.
