The ABCs - L is For Liver

Liver.

Just by typing the word liver, my saliva glands started working a little bit more than usual.

Suddenly, I could taste it!

Organ meats are dense with nutrition.

The thing about eating organ meats is that they must come from grass-fed animals. Animals who live in confined spaces with restricted space and fed on diets that consists of hormones and antibiotics to accelerate their growth is a big NO!

Organ meats are naturally high in vitamin A. They are also high in amino acids, healthy fats, vitamin B and B12, cell growth and CoQ10 (which helps with maintenance and is an anti-oxidant), and fat soluble activators which are important for mineral absorption (vitamin A, D and K).

Liver has very concentrated levels of vitamin A. It is also high in iron, choline, copper, folic acid, vitamin B, purines and natural cholesterol.

    2. Have you read on foie gras (I hope I'm spelling that right), fancy French luxury livers of geese and ducks? They use a tube and force feed the birds. So gross.
