    Default I would like info on beefheart recipes?

    I have been wanting to make my own beefheart recipe, the frozen stuff seems.......quite watery. I have read several posts on this, but noone has mentioned chicken livers. I know an old hobbyist, raised discus for many years. He added chicken or beef liver to his mix.

    u gotta remove water to get actual protein

    Crude Protein Min 8.1%
    Crude Fat Min 0.7%
    Crude Fiber Max 0.0%
    Moisture Max 88.8%

    100%-88%=12% of that 12 % the actual food 8% is protein so now ur looking at 66% protein.works the same with all frozen foods.
