About Chopped liver

Chopped liver is a traditional Jewish delicacy, often served as a spread or side dish. Made from sautéed chicken or beef liver mixed with onions, hard-boiled eggs, and fat like schmaltz (rendered chicken fat), it's a staple of Ashkenazi cuisine. Rich in flavor, chopped liver provides a dense source of protein and essential nutrients such as iron, vitamin A, and B vitamins, which support energy, vision, and overall health. However, its high cholesterol and fat content—especially when prepared with schmaltz—may not be ideal for those managing heart health or watching saturated fat intake. While it offers benefits like promoting red blood cell production and maintaining immune function, moderation is key to balancing its nutritional pros and cons. Served on rye bread or paired with matzo, chopped liver remains a flavorful but rich dish in traditional Jewish cooking.
