#84 - How to Get More (& Tastier!) Liver into Your Diet
Description
Liver: do you love it or hate it?
Which ever side of the fence you're on, we're betting you know that liver is a true superfood; one of the most nutrient dense foods we can include in our diet.
But for many it's also a 'problem' food – we know because both of us regularly get questions on including liver in an ancestral diet.
This episode is for liver lovers and liver haters! We talk about why liver is so important, how often to eat liver, where to start with sourcing, preparing and cooking liver, what types of liver we eat and how we eat it, how to eat liver without realising you're eating liver, how to get children to eat liver, what to do if you just can't eat liver and we share our favourite and our patrons favourite liver recipes.
We just couldn't stop talking about liver and if you're our patron of the podcast, you will find an after show in your private feed where we share even more about liver including eating it raw.
