What is this food?
Pork liver, broiled. It’s a protein-rich viand made from pork liver, usually cooked until tender and browned.
Why it matters to health
Pork liver helps support your body’s needs for protein (for building and repairing tissues). It also provides iron and other important nutrients commonly found in organ meats, which can be helpful for energy and blood health. In this serving, there’s some carbohydrates (about 15.4 g) and fat (about 4.4 g), plus low sodium (about 49 mg) compared with many processed or heavily seasoned foods—so it can fit well in your meals when portion and frequency are considered.
Healthier tips
- Keep portions around 1/2 cup to 1 cup (about 50–100 g) per meal, especially if you’re also eating rice or other carb sides.
- Pair with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, broccoli, carrots) and a small amount of rice to balance your plate.
- Broil or grill instead of deep-frying to keep the dish lighter.
- If you eat liver often, rotate with other protein sources like fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, or lean meat.
- Watch salty add-ons (soy sauce, patis, seasoning mixes) so sodium stays reasonable across the day.
