Foie Gras, Raw
Foie gras is a luxury food product consisting of the fattened liver from ducks or geese, traditionally produced in France through a specialized feeding process. The raw liver features a smooth, buttery texture and rich flavor profile that becomes velvety when cooked, with notably higher fat content (particularly saturated fat) than standard poultry liver. While valued in haute cuisine for its decadent mouthfeel, it carries significant ethical considerations due to force-feeding practices during production. Typically served in small portions seared or as pâté, it provides concentrated amounts of vitamin A and B12 alongside its substantial calorie density.
