Beef Liver, Raw

Beef Liver, Raw

EverydayRaw

Beef liver is one of the most nutrient-dense organ meats available, distinguished by its deep reddish-brown color and smooth, firm texture when raw. This highly concentrated source of nutrients provides exceptional levels of vitamin A, B12, iron, and copper, surpassing most other food sources in these essential nutrients. Raw beef liver requires proper refrigeration and thorough cooking before consumption to ensure food safety, though its nutritional content is most preserved in its raw state.
