About Duck, domesticated, liver, raw

Duck liver is a smooth, rich offal best known as the basis of foie gras, the fattened liver that is a luxury of French cuisine. Ordinary duck liver, measured here, is leaner than its force-fed cousin but still prized for its velvety texture and deep flavor in pates and terrines.

At roughly 136 calories per 100 grams raw, duck liver is, like other livers, an exceptionally concentrated source of vitamin A, vitamin B12, folate, riboflavin, iron and copper. A small amount delivers a very large share of several daily nutrient needs.

The same vitamin A that makes it so nutritious also means it should be eaten only occasionally, and pregnant women are generally advised to avoid liver entirely. Foie gras production is also ethically contentious and banned in some places. As an occasional indulgence, duck liver is rich in both flavor and nutrients.
