About Veal kidney

Veal kidney is kidney tissue from a young bovine, used as an edible offal ingredient. It may be trimmed, portioned and cooked by quick methods or incorporated into braised preparations, depending on its cut and recipe.

Raw kidney is typically reddish-brown and firm, with distinct lobes; trimming removes membranes and some connective tissue. Its flavor and texture are affected by freshness, preparation and cooking, and products may be sold whole or already cleaned and cut.
