I may have asked this before, but I'm really trying to eat suet again, and it's so strange to me. How were you with suet when you first started eating it? It's so easy to eat unhealthy food, but when I try to eat suet so far, I have a pretty difficult time. How does it digest? I'm looking forward to suet stories. I figure this topic belongs in zero carb, as I think maybe more zero carbers eat suet than other raw paleo people do.

I buy only good quality suet from grassfed, pastured or wild animals that has little or none of the brown bits and excessive connective tissue that are in CAFO meat suet. For example, I had wild white tail deer suet once that was basically a solid hunk of pure white fat. With suet, my focus is less on what it tastes like than how it makes me feel after I eat it, which is great. Some goes through to the stool not fully digested, but since it makes me feel better than probably any other food I've tried, that doesn't bother me much, except that I also eat soft fats like marrow and egg yolks and other soft foods rather than just meat and suet, to reduce constipation.

You know the best way I've heard to eat suet?
With a sander. ;D

I've found a good source for grass fed, grass finished suet and eat it on occasion, although lately I've been eating mostly marrow. When I eat suet, I often chop it into fine pieces and mix it in a small amount of raw honey to make it a little more palatable. I also mix it in with raw meat sometimes, or mix it into raw meat and mix in a little raw honey too.
I've never seen it come out the other end undigested.

Thanks for that info, I suspected that my lifelong digestion issues were at fault.

I am currently taking a bite out of a medium sized piece of suet right now. It doesn't taste bad and the texture is fine. Not much flavor at all really. I get my suet from slankers and sometimes I cut it up and mix it with meat or sometimes I put a hunk of suet with my meat and I take bites off it throughout my meat meal.

I get mine ground up so you don't notice the connective tissue you sometimes get. I then just put it on my meats/organs or mix it with egg yolks. It's also my favorite fat in terms of how it makes me feel.
