Title: Raw Beef Tendons
Post by: Chris on August 12, 2012, 12:26:56 am
I just picked up some beef tendons recently for the first time. I noticed when I was cutting it up, that it was very greasy/oily. Is this normal? It definitely has a distinct odor to it, that's for sure. Anybody with any experience with these?

What are you going to do with them? I made twine awhile back. They are strong but slippery, and emit a fine oil when they are worked. Does that help? I never ate them, but I have chewed them and they swell and get a bit slimy.

 Hi Adora.  I know they are used to make stocks. But, I was thinking on cutting them up into very small pieces and consuming them. At least that is the plan. They seemed rather greasy and had an unusual smell to them. Unlike other parts of the animal. I just wanted to make sure that was normal.

I don't remember anything off about them. I would label them and put them in the freezer, until you know more. If you think there not right, don't push it.Trust all of your signals. If/when you're going to eat them, I would soak them in water first, they swell, then you can chew them a little easier.

Thanks for your suggestions and recommendations. I did some research on the subject, and found out they do have a distinctive character to them.  -\
