New Zealand Certified Organic Free-Range Chicken Hearts (300g)
Please note that due to ever-increasing production and import costs the price of this product has been raised. We thank you for your understanding.
Utilizing the whole animal is sustainable and responsible. Chicken hearts are a good source of minerals as they contain a good amount of zinc and iron. You get one pack of certified organic pasture-raised free-range chicken hearts. The hearts are cleaned and ready to cook but may still have a bit of fat left on. You can either trim the fat off or leave it on - please see images. Because our organic chicken is free-range and pasture-raised they grow at different rates so the hearts will come in various sizes mixed together. The most popular way to eat chicken hearts in Japan is Yakitori (grilled chicken skewers).
Free-range, open pasture-raised certified organic chicken from New Zealand. Naturally and sustainably slow-grown with love and care on certified organic apple orchards in Hawke's Bay. The happy chicken roam and forage freely as nature intended. No antibiotics, no growth hormones, no GMO feed, no chlorine washing. The feed and the land are free of any synthetic chemicals. Certified organic is not only good for you but most importantly good for the environment. Bostock Brothers organic chicken is the only certified organic chicken farm in all of New Zealand.
Due to bilateral agreements, this chicken is only certified organic in New Zealand. Japanese JAS organic is being applied for and in process.
