About Pig heart
Pig heart is the muscular heart of a pig, sold as an edible organ meat. It is a compact, dense muscle, typically dark red when fresh, with a firm texture and a pronounced but relatively lean meat flavor. It may be sold whole or cut into sections, with membranes and larger vessels trimmed to varying degrees.
It can be cooked by methods such as braising, grilling, or frying, often after trimming and slicing. Raw, cooked, and prepared heart are different forms, and cooking changes moisture and texture. The name identifies the organ but does not specify whether it has been trimmed, soaked, marinated, or cooked.
