Costco's beef tongue is a whole, vacuum-packaged beef tongue sold by the pound, keeping the meat fresh and extending shelf life until ready to prepare. Beef tongue is a tender, flavorful cut that is naturally rich in protein and fat, prized in many culinary traditions worldwide.

This versatile cut is typically skinned before cooking and can be prepared by braising, slow cooking, or boiling until tender. It is commonly used in tacos (lengua), soups, stews, and sandwiches, or sliced thin for charcuterie. The vacuum packaging helps preserve freshness and quality during transport and refrigerated storage.
