chingyvang Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 In my culture, beef blood is considered a delicacy so we serve it cooked in beef stew during seasonal gatherings. I just had some and was wondering if they're a good protein source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Roseman Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 According to wiki - serum total protein is 7g/dl.That is 7% protein. 60% is albumin - which is similar to egg white protein35% are various globulins - no idea as to qualityIn comparison muscle is typically 25% protein.

Not bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The primary value of blood is micronutrients! THere is some protein, but not a lot. However take this to heart: 2 tablespoons of animal blood per day functions as a very good multivitamin. This used to be mixed into the milk back in the day in times of famine, they would bleed the cow just a little bit. It doesn't notice 2 tablespoons gone every so often.

Blairbob Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I like jello. It also was an old Hun trick for surviving on the steppes with your horse when there was nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
