North Carolina-based Hickory Nut Gap has launched Vital Blend ground beef—a blend of grass-fed ground beef, liver and heart that offers 20% more protein than their existing 80/20 ground beef blend.
The company said the addition of organ meat supplies “a unique and delicious way” for families to enjoy the benefits of liver and hearts as they are packed with vitamins and minerals.
“We are always looking for innovative ways to bring healthy, sustainably-raised meats to our customers,” said Jamie Ager, co-owner of Hickory Nut Gap.
“Vital Blend offers a convenient and delicious way for families to incorporate more nutritious ingredients into their diet, while still enjoying the taste and texture of high-quality ground beef that Hickory Nut Gap is known for.”
The company said the blend satisfies the special needs of keto, paleo and carnivore diets.
