Introduction: Chicken liver is the liver of a chicken, consisting of two lobes of varying sizes. It has a bitter bile and veins on its surface (which should be removed during processing). The color of chicken liver is purplish-red, and it has a delicate and tender texture. Chicken liver is rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamin A, and B vitamins. It has the effect of nourishing blood and promoting health. Additionally, chicken liver contains abundant vitamin A, which plays a role in maintaining normal growth and reproductive function. It can protect the eyes, maintain normal vision, prevent dryness and fatigue in the eyes, and contribute to healthy skin tone. When purchasing chicken liver, it is important to note that fresh ones should have a vibrant red color, smooth surface, and no unusual odor or abnormalities. Stale chicken livers will appear dull in color, have a slimy surface, or emit an unpleasant odor.
