Do you remember the love of steamed liver and do not even know the last time you enjoyed them? Don’t worry. You don’t have to deny your liver. You just shouldn’t eat them too often.
Liver
Under socialism, we were devouring primarily what was just available, including the liver. The liver and other viscera used to be much cheaper than muscle and definitely found a place in the diet of old and young, in ordinary homes, as well as in racing canteens and school kitchens. Because the structure and taste are substantially different from the LAG, not everyone came in handy and similar is an IS with a typical fragrance that is not absolutely pleasant to everyone.
But it is not just whether it was tasty or not. The consumption of offal and liver has been abandoned especially at a time when there was information that they were inappropriate for health. The liver is rich in protein, iron, zinc, copper and chrome, as well as vitamins of B or vitamin A, but this can be too much in the liver.
The author of this post, Dr Bartek Kulczyński, will also tell you about the diet of the times of the past. It will tell you what food looked like during socialism in our Polish neighbors. As dietologist kulczyński himself says, “the fact that it was necessary to cook from nowhere does not mean that it was food poor in nutritional substances.” In his paper he will also tell you about the liver.

Liver and guts
Even meat used to be scarce goods and liver and other viscera can be very reasonably prepared in many ways a lot of interesting and today little seen meals. When was the last time you had spleen soup or chicken hearts?
Information about the inappropriateness of the guts and the liver for excess vitamin A, but also the high purin content today discourages many boarders. Since the liver filters the blood of animals, there may be theoretically also heavy metals or residues of various drugs, including antibiotics. However, food is tested and evaluated according to the set limits.
The liver of beef, pork and chicken are definitely interesting for the high content of many nutritional substances and it would be a shame not to use them. It means nothing more than that we should include them in the diet. But the temperance is definitely in place.
Have a liver once a week
Experts point out that overdose of vitamin A is possible and depends on the types of liver and method of processing. Although cod liver is generally considered more beneficial, they have a higher concentration of vitamin A.
In addition, they should also be borne in mind that the liver is subject to destruction faster and needs to be cool and soon cooled.
As for the amount of liver, we should definitely have them in our diet, but rather once a week. Then we can talk about a healthy food in many ways.
On the other hand, excessive liver consumption and viscera can lead to gout diseases, and all those who have problems with high cholesterol should also avoid these foods.
