Probably eaten my weight in raw lamb's liver over the past couple of years. Makes me feel like a sexual tyrannosaurus. Always freeze and defrost first in order to increase the chances of maiming or killing any parasites. Desiccated beef capsules are a lot more convenient, though, and arguably more beneficial than lamb. You don't necessarily have to seek out the gourmet expensive capsules from AU/NZ.
Nothing kills hunger like raw liver. That tells me all I need to know about its nutritional profile.
Jim, you may have mentioned this previously, is there a reason that you know of suggesting raw is better than cooked? As kids, liver & onions was a staple and it was yum. With a Mum who only ate beef/steak that had to be cooked for at least 3 hours, (and I don't mean in a braised way), I'm not sure what she'd have thought of that.....
Interesting nutritional profile. While beef liver has substantial quantities of many micronutrients it is notably low in others i.e. calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, all of which are necessary in quite large quantities in the diet. It also provides little of Vitamins C, D, E and K. It is also a poor source of Omega 3. I do recall pregnant women being told NOT to eat liver as there were too many cases of Vitamin A toxicity. Now I can see why.
I'm so with you on that!!I don’t think I could eat liver if my life depended on it, except in a pate, the texture just makes me gag even at the thought of it
I did a bit of checking and the advice to pregnant women was not directly because of Vitamin A toxicity but because excess Vitamin A may lead to birth defects. So unless you are pregnant (!) You are probably ok!Can I ask your thoughts on Dr Ken Berry? I recently watched one of his videos talking about Liver and he states unless eating polar bear liver or supplements there's never been a case of toxicity from eating too much liver.
I
Not even coleslaw, raw carrot, celery, lettuce or onion?I couldn’t eat liver raw or cooked!! I see some people eat vegetables that haven’t been cooked I couldn’t do that either!
Another reminder to stay on topic. To make this easier I've quoted the questions asked in the opening post.my question is, is it safe?
Anyone tried it? What's your experience?
I love organ meats, but would not dream of eating them undercooked let alone raw. So many potential pathogens in those most perishable organs. Don’t forget what livers and kidneys exist to strain out!So I've been seeing a lot of stuff recently about people eating raw organ meats. Particularly Liver. It's claimed by various Youtubers and websites to have lots of health benefits over cooked but my question is, is it safe?
Anyone tried it? What's your experience?
