broccoli

It’s hard to believe I know, but another festive season is upon us and as we begin to wind down and prepare for the holidays (YAY), we look back at the year that was and our favourite knowledge nuggets.

The most common types of organ meat, also referred to as affal, include the liver, tongue, heart, kidneys, brain and tripe. Once a prized meat, it’s fallen slightly out of favour over the years, which is unfortunate considering how nutritious organ meats actually are. For example, did you know they are an excellent source of vitamin D? Called the ‘sunshine vitamin’ because our bodies can create vitamin D when exposed to the sun, we tend to think that because we live in a warm country we should have no issues with our vitamin D levels, right? Wrong.
