About Fois gras
Foie gras, a luxurious delicacy originating from French cuisine, is made from the liver of ducks or geese that have undergone a special feeding process to enhance fat content. Renowned for its rich, buttery flavor and velvety texture, foie gras is traditionally served as a pâté, mousse, or seared medallion. Nutritionally, it is high in fat, particularly saturated fat, and provides a significant amount of calories in small servings. Foie gras contains essential vitamins such as vitamin A and B12, along with iron, supporting eye health, energy production, and oxygen transport in the body. However, due to its high cholesterol and caloric density, it is best consumed in moderation and may not align with heart-healthy diets. Ethical considerations surrounding its production have also spurred alternative methods to create more sustainable and humane versions of this prized ingredient.
