About Kidney, pig

Pig kidney is the edible kidney of a pig, sold whole, halved or sliced. It can be quickly fried or grilled after trimming, or included in soups, stews and other cooked preparations. The central tissue and any surrounding fat may be removed before cooking, and preparation can influence both the flavour and the amount of edible organ.

Raw pig kidney is generally compact and reddish-brown, with a firm, dense texture and a distinctive savoury organ flavour. It is sold fresh or frozen, and the degree of trimming and cutting varies. Cooking changes its texture and moisture, so raw and cooked portions should not be treated as the same form.
