Grass-fed Cow Liver

I'll admit liver isn't my favorite meal, but it is a necessary one for me. I'm anemic and oh man I'm tired of feeling tired! According to The Weston A Price Foundation, Grass-fed cow liver has a long list of...

A LONG LIST

So what makes liver so wonderful? Quite simply, it contains more nutrients, gram for gram, than any other food. In summary, liver provides:
  • An excellent source of high-quality protein
  • Nature’s most concentrated source of vitamin A
  • All the B vitamins in abundance, particularly vitamin B12
  • One of our best sources of folic acid
  • A highly usable form of iron
  • Trace elements such as copper, zinc and chromium; liver is our best source of copper
  • An unidentified anti-fatigue factor
  • CoQ10, a nutrient that is especially important for cardio-vascular function
  • A good source of purines, nitrogen-containing compounds that serve as precursors for DNA and RNA.

EXACTLY what I need. 

I have discovered all I need to accompany my palate, when eating liver, is pickled ginger. It does the job for me to "cleanse my palate" and makes it easier to eat. Plus, I just really like ginger.
