Is Chicken Liver Healthy?

Yes. Chicken liver is very nutritious. Most of us who eat a modern diet don’t consume enough liver and organs. Liver has many health benefits that we can’t get from eating regular muscle meat. These include high level of B vitamins to enhance liver detoxification functions, and CoQ10 to stimulate mitochondria to produce energy.

I grew up in a traditional culture, in which liver is often reserved for young children and pregnant women as a valued food item. Traditional wisdom taught us eating the whole animal (a.k.a. nose-to-tail eating) is good for our health. I love practicing nose-to-tail eating. Not only it provides more balanced nutrition to our bodies, it’s more economical and good for the planet.

When I don’t have time to cook livers, I use a quality liver power from Perfect Supplements. My discount code “YANG10” will give you 10% off your entire purchase (stackable with volume discounts for up to 40% off).
