About Figado
Figado, or liver, is a nutrient-rich organ meat commonly used in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Brazilian, French, and German dishes. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, figado is an excellent source of iron, vitamin A, and B vitamins like B12, which are crucial for energy production and immunity. It also contains protein and healthy amounts of copper and selenium, supporting cell health and thyroid function. Despite its high nutritional value, liver should be eaten in moderation due to its high cholesterol content and the potential for excessive vitamin A intake, which can be toxic in large quantities. Its bold flavor and tender texture make it a versatile ingredient, either sautéed, grilled, or added to stews. For those seeking a nutrient-dense food, figado offers significant health benefits when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
