KETO VERDICTYES
Beef heart is excellent for keto: ~0.1g net carbs and ~17.7g protein per 100g. It eats like a lean steak and brings organ-level micronutrients (notably CoQ10) with virtually no carbs—just add fat to balance macros.

WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY
- Near-zero carbs (~0.1g/100g) fit strict keto
- High-quality, complete protein for muscle maintenance
- One of the richest natural sources of CoQ10 for mitochondrial energy
- Excellent B-vitamin profile to support energy and ketone metabolism
- Approachable flavor—more like lean steak than “organ”
- Lean base protein you can pair with keto fats (Ghee, Olive Oil, Beef Tallow)
