Let’s get this first fact out of the way: sweetbreads are not sweet breads. Sweetbreads are considered offal, and sweet breads are, well, breads that are sweet. Sweetbreads are organ meat and they have a smooth texture, and a mild and creamy flavor. Knowing the difference will save you from an unwelcome surprise in either direction. But what are sweetbreads, and why do people eat them? Because they’re delicious!

Both beef (commonly called ox) and lamb’s kidneys are available in New Zealand. We often see them chopped and sold alongside steak ready for cooking in a pie or casserole. As well as being a good source of protein, an adult serve of ox kidney (75g) provides almost all your daily iron needs as well as all of your selenium, vitamin B12 and vitamin B3 (niacin) for the day.
