Liver, pig, stewed

Pig’s liver is an organ meat. The figures here describe liver coated in seasoned flour and then stewed. Per 100g, it provides 26g of protein, 8.1g of fat, 17mg of iron and 22600µg of vitamin A (retinol equivalent).

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Vitamin A supports vision and immune function, but too much retinol can be harmful. UK guidance advises avoiding liver and liver products during pregnancy because their high vitamin A content can harm an unborn baby. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
