beef liver as a permanent sub? page

[Wyatt]

Hey guys,


I've started eating beef liver because it is the cheapest grass fed item I can find. Do you think liver is an adequate substitute for regular cuts?


Thanks!

[rphlslv]

Good question, I'll probably do the same thing. How much did you pay for it, and how much are the other cuts?

[Wyatt]

My whole foods sells it for 4.99/pound... which is the best price you can find on any cut. Even the ground beef is way more expensive.

[rphlslv]

Um that's still a lot... but it's WF, so.


But you know you shouldn't eat liver that often right? I heard it can be toxic.

[FlyNavyWife]

yeah i think you need to be a little careful with the fat-soluble vitamins... not positive on that note though.


but have you thought about buying in bulk? I'm buying 1/4 cow for $5/pound and lots of people can find it even cheaper locally.

If you can't find a local source, texasgrassfedbeef.com sells 100 pounds of beef for $608 (Shipping included).

Beef liver is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. I fry up a strip of it with dinner 3-4 times a week.


There are concerns about overdosing on Vitamin A, but this appears to only be an issue when you're deficient in Vitamin D (see http://www.westonaprice.org/Vitamin-...eoporosis.html ).

I use beef liver to supplement my meat supply because it is cheap. I doubt I could live on it though.

YO MAN WATCH OUT


You can easily get vitamin A poisoning if you overeat on liver. I've seen it happen before.

Judging as I cannot get more than a few bites down yet, I shouldn't worry about poisoning until I start liking the taste!


Thanks everyone for the info. I'll definitely have to keep use some more variation with my beef!


FlyNavyWife: very good suggestion. I'll look into that.
