Imagine a perfect superfood, that was abundantly available and chock full of essential vitamins and minerals.That superfood is pork liver! As in, the largest organ in the pig’s body. In fact, all organ meats are nutrient-dense and have so much to offer.
Are you curious about organ meats, but also a little grossed out? Or maybe you’ve hopped on the desiccated liver capsule train, but aren’t really sure how much or how often you should be taking them? Perhaps you’ve had organ meats in one capacity or another, but been scarred by the metallic taste, or the opaque supply chain with quality concerns?
If so, this episode is for you!
Today, Corinne is talking about eating liver, kidney, and heart for your health and making it taste amazing. The truth is, eating organs is an essential part of radical health. And, they are abundantly available! But, not all organs are created equal, and you don’t have to eat them every single day. Even a few ounces a week have been linked to better energy, clearer skin, better immune response, improved cardiovascular health and more.
