Why Pork Liver and Organ Meats Are a True Superfood
Imagine a perfect superfood that’s abundantly available and packed with essential vitamins and minerals. That superfood is pork liver — the largest organ in the pig’s body. In fact, all organ meats are incredibly nutrient-dense and have so much to offer.
Are you curious about eating organ meats, but also a little grossed out? Maybe you’ve hopped on the desiccated liver supplement trend but aren't sure how much or how often you should be taking them. Perhaps you've tried organ meats before, only to be turned off by the metallic taste or concerns about supply chain transparency and meat quality.
If so, this episode is for you.
Today, Corinne dives into how to eat liver, kidney, and heart for better health — and how to make it taste amazing. The truth is, eating organs is an essential part of radical, resilient health. Organ meats are abundantly available, affordable, and incredibly nourishing.
And no, you don't need to eat them every day. Even a few ounces a week have been linked to benefits like:
-
Better energy
-
Clearer skin
-
Stronger immune response
-
Improved cardiovascular health
