A diet of steak alone never gets tiring, but there is a chance that you’re missing out on a few micronutrients. That’s where liver comes in, and it’s exceptionally nutrient-dense, a corrective for when you’re genuinely short of something, not a fixture to build your week around. The full case is here.
Cook it, then count it
It’s more of a fact than an opinion. To consider a food highly nutritious, it needs to cater to each of the following.
1. Nutrient variety – Provides a great number of different micronutrients
2. Nutrient density – Provides a great amount of each micronutrient
3. Absorption – The body can use the nutrients without any hitches
What Makes Liver So Good?
Unfortunately, there’s a catch. As ever, nature’s trying to hide the goods. Liver’s something of an acquired taste, which can be too overpowering for people to consider eating it at all, even occasionally. So I’ve come up with a recipe that can sidestep the problem, by masking the taste with a generous helping of ground beef!
