Brains
Brains are the edible brains of animals, used in many traditional cuisines (French, South Asian, Latin American) where they are prized for their delicate texture and creamy mouthfeel. They are often pan-fried, sautéed, or used in rich dishes and pâtés. Nutritionally, Brains are a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 11.6g of protein per 100 g, and they supply several vitamins found in higher amounts in organ meats. They are especially notable for being rich in B-vitamins and vitamin K and for offering a high-quality amino acid profile, which makes them a nutrient-dense choice within the category of animal organs.
