Check the usda nutrient database.The data might well be there.

Hi Tyler, the site is surprisingly easy to use, just found it now, thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't have it though: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/cgi-bin/nut_search_new.pl, unless it's called something else.

No, it would definitely be under something called "nut_search_new.pl"

I wonder, why are the ovaries so much smaller than the testicles? Are they from younger animals?

It seems not to be related to the age of the animal. Testicles are usually bigger than ovaries for many species (typically 30 cm3 versus 7 cm3 for homo sapiens). I guess it's rather a matter of "factory size". Testicles have to produce a tremendously large number of mature spermatozoa whereas ovaries have to produce only a very modest number of ovules.
This in turn reflects the different strategies for reproductive success of males and females, respectively wastefull generosity and high care.

Are there any nutrition data of testicles?

There is some information here

it looks like im gonna be trying some lamb or goat balls soon...

i was talking to a lady who sells grassfed lamb and goat at the farmers market on wednesday and i asked her if she ever had organs for sale. she said she didnt usually bring them to the market and she 'wasn't allowed' to sell the fryers (testicles) but she had them in her freezer at home. but then she said she would sell them to me. i guess because i buy from her a lot. anyways, she said she'd bring some the the saturday market. it's gonna get interesting.

also, this got me cracking up. but now im a little scared:

which state are you in? i'd love to buy from that lady too. is it grass fed? thanks

im in texas. i've had grass fed goat and lamb testicles from her. i told her they were for my dog - no questions asked. i actually didnt like the lamb ones so they're still in my freezer.

Hi, try Northstar Bison. You can google the name. they have everything but back fat. It's where I get 90 percent of my food right now. Some of the best meat in the world, for their bison live on pristine green fields of grass, at least right now, before the snow comes. Plus their shipping is so reasonable.

raw · « **Reply #34 on:** November 25, 2009, 04:40:31 am »

thanks van. i'll try that for sure.

I ate 2 lamb testicles and it was really great!
I cut the testicles in slices and let it dry at room temperature during 10 days.

In France, it is a common food that one can find in the shops. We call them white kidney ("rognon blanc") or animelle.

I didn't find anything in nutritiondata about testicles. I know that sperm is a very nutritious food...

gross, bison or bull testicles are colorados state food i think
"rocky mountain oysters"
do they really still have sperm in them though? wouldnt it drain out?

van · « **Reply #38 on:** February 02, 2010, 10:17:14 am »

the testicles I ate look like Uni or sea urchin, bright to pale organge. They are solid, not little or big sacks filled with semen. I think the semen is in the prostrate?

i ate ram's testicles and i gave my toddler from that. very delicious.

carnivore · « **Reply #40 on:** February 02, 2010, 04:21:08 pm »

Well, yesterday I had a bit of diarrhea, and this morning a light headache... A bit high probably for me.

But the tests definitively increase my libido.

alphagruis · « **Reply #41 on:** February 02, 2010, 06:32:32 pm »

Tests as well as semen contain a substantial quantity of testosterone, the hormone that determines the libido. Possibly at least part of this testosterone gets into the blood stream when present in ingested food.

For the fanatic anti-carb and anti-fructose devotees notice that semen contains fructose and sorbitol

Carbs are definitively everywhere!

AFAIK women shouldn't eat testicles - it's hormone-related issue

I'm wondering whether this is really true or not. Healthy women's organisms produce a small (but important for instance for sex drive and libido) quantity of testosterone, anyway. The quantity of testosterone brought about by the testicles as food is also small and probably only part of it survives the digestive process. Testosterone derives from cholesterol.

I think people should eat what they like to eat, as long as it is a "living food" (something that grows good bacteria in you). I tried buffalo testicle, but I really didn't like the textures (for a regular food) nor flavor. I don't plan to get them again, as I didn't like eating any, and my cats didn't do so well on it either.

jessica · « **Reply #46 on:** February 03, 2010, 11:28:37 pm »

rawzi...would you eat ovaries? not that i assume they are appealing to you but if you had a supply or a few on a plate?

I agree, eating something must be pleasurable and if possible delicious.

I never ate sexual glands (tests or ovaries) from land mammals, just routinely those from crabs or fishs (whole anchovies, not gutted) or shellfishs which are usually delicious.

I intend to try bull or boar tests if I can get some. As Carnivore told us, I'll cut them in slices and dry them a little bit. I eat almost all organs (liver, kidney...) in this way because they taste better than fresh.

jessica · « **Reply #48 on:** February 04, 2010, 12:08:35 am »

i am assuming fish and crustaceans do not produce the same hormones as humans? and that the vitamins/minerals/fats inherent in their bodies are what promotes proper sexual health function in humans?

Udders are supposedly toothsome - they are fatty
