Cherry and liver? Say what.. don’t be too turned off, with this combo, the liver is negligible in taste – but the benefits are still there! And in a the form of a delicious snack your little ones (and you) will keep reaching for.
For this recipe we have used desiccated liver – which is dried liver turned into a powder. This process involves removing the water content from the liver while preserving its nutritional components. We love these liver and spleen capsules from Cell Squared as they are really high in iron! Use discount code BOOBTOFOOD.
Liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat that is high in iron, zinc, vitamin A and B vitamins. It is a source of haem iron, which is the type of iron found in animal tissues and is more easily absorbed by the body compared to non-haem iron found in plant foods.
