The Daily Newsletter for Intellectually Curious Readers

If you're frustrated by one-sided reporting, our 5-minute newsletter is the missing piece. We sift through 100+ sources to bring you comprehensive, unbiased news—free from political agendas. Stay informed with factual coverage on the topics that matter.

The Numbers Don't Lie

A quick look at beef liver's nutrient profile reads like a multivitamin label - except these nutrients come in their most bioavailable forms. The standout figures are almost hard to believe:

  • Vitamin A: A whopping 1,349% of your daily needs in just 100g

  • Vitamin B12: An incredible 2,958% of daily requirements

  • Copper: 1,556% of recommended intake

  • Several B vitamins ranging from 142% to 243% of daily values

For perspective, you'd need to eat multiple plates of vegetables to even come close to the vitamin A content found in a single serving of liver - and it still wouldn't be in the same readily-absorbable form.

Money Matters:

Despite its exceptional nutritional density, beef liver remains one of the most affordable animal proteins available. While premium cuts of steak can easily run $20+ per pound, liver often sells for a fraction of that price. This cost-effectiveness makes it a particularly attractive option as food prices continue to climb.

Quality Counts:

However, there's an important caveat: the liver's role as the body's primary filtration organ means quality is paramount. The French have long understood this - in traditional French cuisine, liver from grass-fed cattle is prized for its superior nutrient profile and cleaner taste.

Quick Fact:

The iron in beef liver is in its heme form, making it significantly more bioavailable than plant-based iron sources. Just 100g provides 36% of your daily iron needs in a form your body can readily use.
