Organ Meats: The Most Nutrient Dense Food with Chef James Barry

What do you think about organ meats? If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ve probably heard our director, Dianne, talk about the superior nutrient density of organ meats. Well, don’t just take her word for it! In this special episode of the NTI PodTalk, Dianne talks to Chef James Barry, who is also an avid promoter of eating organ meats. He created Pluck, a product that helps people easily include organ meats in the diet without the ‘ick’ factor. Listen in as James and Dianne discuss Pluck, the inspiration behind it, and how organ meats are the most nutrient dense food. James Barry’s 16 + years in the culinary field started as a private chef cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Mariska Hargitay, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. Most recently, James launched his first functional food product, Pluck, an organ-based seasoning. It’s the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet. James is also a published cookbook author having co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd’s book Eat Naked and co-authored the follow-up cookbook The Naked Foods Cookbook. He most recently co-authored the recipes in Dr. Alejandro Junger’s book, Clean 7. **Timestamps for the topics discussed can be found on this episode's NTI PodTalk page.
