About Beef, variety meats and by-products, liver, cooked, braised
Beef liver is, calorie for calorie, one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet — an organ meat with a strong, mineral, slightly bitter flavor that people tend to love or avoid. Braised or pan-fried with onions is the classic way to tame and enjoy it.
Its profile is genuinely extraordinary: liver is extremely rich in vitamin A, vitamin B12, copper, folate and highly absorbable iron, often supplying several days' worth of some nutrients in a single serving, all on a base of lean, high-quality protein. Few foods come close.
That same intensity is a reason for moderation — liver is so high in vitamin A and copper that very large or frequent servings can be too much of a good thing, and it's generally advised against in pregnancy for that reason. As an occasional food, though, it's hard to beat.
