Pluck Just earned serious business for those of us who don't have our own ofals! Thank you for your generosity and sharing as it' shows that you're not focused purely on the bottom profit line, but health for others. THANK YOU!

[@shellielheureux6462]

Pluck did just increase in sales for sure! I do NOT like organ meats! But they are so beneficial (my kids would never eat organ meats lol). I'm super excited to try this. Should be here within the next week or so!

[@rachaelfaber6703]

Absolutely agree!! Thank you! This has been on my list to try to figure out for a while - so thankful for this!!

[@lisawallace3124]

A thought I had was that if you either don't make or don't WANT to make your own seasoning blends, there's nothing stopping from adding your organ powder to a store bought blend...just use the proportion (15-20%) and add it to whatever you may already use!

[@paulbecker7266]

You should make a seasoning celebrating the earthy mineral flavors of the organs with some powdered mushrooms i think would be an amazing umami spice

[@colleencourtney4484]

Great Idea! Patent that LOL

[@kimberlybenienministries2715]

Carolyn, From the first interview with Chef James, and the intro to the PLUCK product I immediately saw the future for a homestead product. I am super excited for the video AND the ratio to get us started. Some of your subscribers have good ideas on flavor ideas as well. God bless you and your beautiful family.

[@catherinebourdon8258]

And you've just solved my dilemma! THANK YOU!!

[@ApiaryManager]

Years ago, my wife and I were at a country fair. She thought it would be a good idea to play a trick on me by getting me to eat some offal (including heart, testicles, etc in a rich creamy sauce). The trick backfired when I told her it was delicious. Many generations have eaten offal. Why do people look down on it? If it's well cooked and delicious, whats the problem?

[@tmyuylom]

Wow, you created a perfect blend of flavors in this video! Just an idea; dehydrated or freeze dried lemon peel goes so deliciously with garlic and parsley and I think might be a delicious add to your perfect blend. You can start a great marinade/ sauce for chicken recipes and shrimp recipes and even for clam sauce for linguini. You do so many awesome things. Love following you!

[@eliteluxurymeditations950]

This is fascinating. I just got some beef liver and chicken hearts the other day! I blended it up with ground beef and plan on eating it like that a few days a week for breakfast 🍳 I really like the powder idea too. I’ll keep that in mind

[@Kazwellian]

Thanks for the idea! I don't like the flavor of most organ meats and now have a freeze dryer, so I will definitely be trying this at home! 😊

[@CAMWaite1]

THANK YOU MY DEAR ❤ This will help my family & friends❤️

[@SandraMalone-pq4mn]

Excited to see you blend the liver powder into a spice blend. I purchase local grass fed beef, including liver, from a farm 5 miles away. I love liver with mushrooms, onions and peppers! However, my childcare littles are sure to not be impressed. So I have been freeze drying liver and adding it to everything!!! Even mac n cheese!! Almost every day, liver is added into some component which supports the meal plan.

[@nicoleheppner4397]

Now I want to try dehydrating organ meats into powder.

[@williamjohnson8146]

Interesting I'll definitely have to try this out. Another way to get liver and heart into the families diet is to have the processor add it to your ground beef. My crew can stand it and they couldn't tell when the wife test drove the idea. With a few onces of liver and had it added to to a few pounds of chuck she had ground up. Amazing burgers and there as zero liver taste, I think it helped the beef flavor.

[@karenjohns8859]

This is fantastic! Thank you

[@sarahgoodwin3337]

So if you freeze dry it raw, can it only be used on things being cooked? He mentioned popcorn. But raw freeze dried would still be raw correct?

[@TheLiberatedMulti-Tasker]

Ditto

[@lisawallace3124]

Once it's freeze dried it's safe to use "raw" since any bacteria it may have would have been killed in the freeze dry process.

[@dandycat2204]

​@@lisawallace3124 Hi Lisa. I think you are confusing freeze-drying with curing. Curing kills bacteria and replaces cooking. Not sure that that is so with freeze-drying.

[@LittleHomesteadOnHinerPond]

If I dehydrate at 165 can I still put the spice blend on popcorn or will I need to cook it with something else?

[@gone4days956]

@@lisawallace3124freeze drying does not kill bacteria.

[@rebeccajohnson3402]

Great information! We have also tried to incorporate organ meats into our meals and we just can’t keep it up. 🤢. Looking forward to trying this!

[@ShortbusMooner]

I can do paté or liverwurst, but that's about it. The rest goes to the chickens- but thank you for the tips! 😄👍

[@erikabutterfly]

At first, checking out the Pluck page, I thought "Oof, that's expensive!" But considering I don't have any other option for getting grass-fed organ meats, it might be worth saving up for. The thing is, to make the shipping worth it, I'll need to go all-in and buy enough to last a while.

My wife and I enjoy your videos. You had mentioned storing home canned foods up to 120 degrees. Can elaborate on this?

[@Alyssafitchett410]

If using a dehydrator, would you need to cook the offal before blending and dehydrating?

[@kykids101]

Thank you for sharing. Just a heads up, the coupon code they gave you is less than the coupon code they give at their web site. You might want to ask them to change your coupon so you get credit. I'll write them and let them know I'm purchasing because I saw your video.

[@jolee6751]

how Cool is this

[@annemcgirt5296]

Could you do some of these recipes side by side with dehydrating as opposed to freeze drying? I looked into a freeze dryer but it simply won't work in my home--between wiring and having a space in the house to put the freeze dryer without having to forgo my dining room table and rewire for it! I do have a dehydrator (6 trays).

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Here is a video we have on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4falI2Inbd9opI

[@esmeraldaaga-kadilliu3971]

Is there another way to do this without a freeze dryer or dehydrator?

[@lyndseylaureta6544]

Just checking, its totally fine to eat the freeze dried organ meat raw? I never knew this. I have a freeze dryer also but would have thought the meat would have needed to be cooked before freeze drying or after it was reconstituted.

[@debrajones8765]

Can you tell me what will be good for a yest infection on a 1 year old

[@paroberg675]

Do you have a link to where I can buy a freeze dryer like yours?

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Here it is: homesteadingfamily.com/harvest-right

[@theresahansell3507]

Do you add salt.

[@tonjabock3289]

If my Orgon meat is currently Frozen how do I blend it before putting it in my freeze dryer? Also if you freeze-dry it raw do you have to cook i

[@kimberlybenienministries2715]

You do not need to blend for freeze drying. Blending is for dehydrating only. Cutting into cubes is sufficient for freeze drying. No need to cook. Freeze drying removes the moisture that breeds bacteria. Freeze drying it is sufficient and adding it to salt also secures the safety of the liver.

[@conniemills1553]

rabbit liver, heart and kidneys should work also? Why would you not cook the organs before freeze drying………… just wondering

[@carolewarner101]

Do you ever blend up a variety of organs into one powder or to you always keep them separate? Thanks!

[@plucktv]

Pluck has 5 organs - liver, kidney, heart, pancreas and spleen. You can mix organs yourself, but just know some have stronger flavor than others.

[@carolewarner101]

@@plucktv Got it. Would you mind talking a bit about which organ have stronger flavors and the nature of those flavors? (Bitter, etc.) Also, (rookie question) why isn't the brain used? Doesn't it have a lot of fatty acids, etc? We are starting to grow our own meat as soon as our house is finished and I would like to start getting the nutrients of the entire animal into our systems. So we're trying to learn everything we can about this leading up to this. Thank you so much for responding.

[@gone4days956]

Raw?

[@happygolucky2223]

Is that safe that the liver was raw when you taste tested it?

[@LaMoynihan1]

Are you eating raw liver? Maybe beet liver raw but Wouldn’t you need to cook chicken liver?

[@antoinettemckanna7678]

As you spoke about a freezer full of organ meat, I wondered if you're buying dog food which is full of poisons with all that organ meat there. At current prices dog food is more expensive than feeding organ meat or chicken from winco. Something maybe to think about for a future episode homesteaders back in the day didn't feed their dogs from a dry bag of kibble.

[@WalkingWithNature418]

Do you have any good resources for making my own dog food?

[@brooketeague4985]

You can feed them the scraps and raw bone from processing.

[@marywysocki6641]

Only thing is that I am not able to eat any organ meat because of my faith--- I am Jewish.

[@jamesbrown55]

My mother, stepmother, Grandmothers, Great Grandmothers, never ever fixed any organ meat. NO WAY NOT FOR ME.

Sorry I just couldn't watch this one! But I love all of your other ones

[@COWELLGIRL]

Nope nope nope but good for yall 😊

[@robertoperaza2683]

For Liver what I do is simply put it in the fridge with salt a few days before cooking. The salt will force the liver to dry and eliminate the extra moisture and give that "gummy" texture. Then cast iron pan, tallow and you are done. No seasoning, no herbs nothing, (those are full of anti-nutrients the plant have put there to avoid be eaten)

[@JesusSavedMe-Alizabeth4truth]

Shouldn’t you cook it first and then turn it into a seasoning?…. Because raw meat freeze dried still is raw.

[@erikabutterfly]

Fresh, high quality beef can be eaten raw. I'm guessing the same applies for meat that was freeze dried fresh. Nutritionally the advantage is that all the nutrients are preserved that would be at least damaged by heat.

[@zzcaptainmastiv2727]

it's expensive, expensive, expensive, expensive, expensive, expensive. other than that, it's great, great, great. i like the dog, just saying.

[@reneedrock2907]

Yuck

[@majedsenani5648]

What about bacteria 🦠

[@robertoperaza2683]

I do just salt and cover all the organs and put in the fridge 2 to 3 days before I have plan to eat them. DO NOT COVER, let the air inside the fridge do the work and the salt does the rest to prevent bad bacteria. I do this a lot with liver. Then fried with tallow and voila. Do not over complicate things, salt and your fridge is all you need. if it comes in a package with a barcode is not food is a product.

[@lisawallace3124]

the freeze dry process will kill any bacteria that might be in the meat

[@kimberlybenienministries2715]

Removing moisture removes the chance for spoilage. That is the science behind behind freeze drying for all things.
