Also known as nature’s superfood, organ meats are one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.

The nutrients in organ meats are highly bioavailable, which means they’re more easily accessed and absorbed by our bodies.

And, eating more organ meats helps reduce waste, which supports our environment. 

It’s easy to see that organ meats are a no-brainer to incorporate into your and your client’s diet.

…unless, of course, you or your clients have a case of the “yuck!” factor.

In this episode of RWS Clinician’s Corner, we sat down with Chef James Barry to learn strategies for introducing organ meats into your (or your client’s) diets with more success, including: 

-The history of organ meats in the American diet 

-Strategies for easing into organ meat consumption, including how to adapt recipes to include organ meats for various palates

-The importance of connecting taste to the nervous system 

-The psychology of taste and picky eaters

-Recipe resources and cookbooks for preparing organ meats

-Changing mindsets and normalizing organ meat consumption

-Insights into considerations for individuals with higher uric acid levels
