When people think of "superfoods", they often picture berries, seeds or leafy greens. Yet one of the most nutrient-rich foods available has been sitting in butchers' counters for generations: chicken liver.
Loved by previous generations and now making a well-deserved comeback, chicken liver is one of nature's most concentrated sources of essential vitamins and minerals. Affordable, versatile and packed with goodness, it's an ingredient that deserves far more attention.
At Eversfield Organic, our Organic Chicken Livers come in 250g packs and are previously frozen to lock in freshness, arriving with a 3-day shelf life once delivered. They're ready to cook and perfect for everything from creamy pâté to quick midweek meals.
Nature's Multivitamin
Gram for gram, few foods can rival chicken liver for nutritional value.
It's naturally rich in:
- High-quality complete protein
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B12
- Folate (Vitamin B9)
- Iron
- Zinc
- Copper
- Selenium
- Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
These nutrients work together to support everything from energy production and immune function to healthy vision and red blood cell formation.
A Fantastic Source of Protein
Chicken liver contains around 25g of protein per 100g, making it an excellent source of complete protein.
Unlike many plant proteins, it contains all nine essential amino acids, helping support:
- Muscle maintenance
- Tissue repair
- Healthy ageing
- Immune function
- Feeling fuller for longer
It's a simple way to add high-quality protein to your diet without relying solely on more familiar cuts of meat.
Naturally Rich in Iron
Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies worldwide.
Chicken liver is naturally high in haem iron — the form of iron found in animal foods that the body absorbs much more efficiently than plant-based sources.
Iron contributes to:
- Normal energy levels
- Healthy red blood cells
- Oxygen transport around the body
- Reduced tiredness and fatigue
For those looking to naturally increase their iron intake, chicken liver is one of the richest food sources available.
Packed with Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in supporting the nervous system, brain function and red blood cell production.
As we age, absorbing B12 can become more challenging, making dietary sources increasingly important.
Chicken liver provides an exceptionally high amount of this essential vitamin in just a small serving.
Rich in Vitamin A
Vitamin A supports:
- Normal vision
- Healthy skin
- Immune function
- Cell growth
Chicken liver is one of the richest natural sources available, meaning a little goes a long way.
Because it contains such high levels, it's best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet rather than every day.
Small Portion, Big Nutrition
One of the great advantages of chicken liver is that you don't need to eat large amounts to enjoy its benefits.
A modest serving provides an impressive range of nutrients that would otherwise require several different foods to obtain.
It's one of the reasons liver has earned its reputation as one of the world's original superfoods.
How Does It Taste?
If you've never tried chicken liver before, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Compared with beef or lamb liver, chicken liver has a much milder flavour and a wonderfully smooth texture when cooked correctly.
It pairs beautifully with ingredients such as:
- Garlic
- Shallots
- Butter
- Thyme
- Sage
- Cream
- White wine
- Brandy
Cooking it gently is key. Overcooking can make liver dry, while leaving it just slightly pink inside keeps it beautifully tender.
Easy Ways to Enjoy Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is far more versatile than many people realise.
Try it:
- Blended into a smooth homemade pâté
- Pan-fried with onions and garlic
- Tossed through creamy pasta
- Served on toasted sourdough
- Added to rich gravies or sauces
- Enjoyed with mashed potato and seasonal vegetables
Its rich flavour means a little goes a long way.

Rediscover One of Nature's Best Foods
It's easy to overlook traditional ingredients in favour of modern food trends, but chicken liver has quietly remained one of the most nutritious foods available.
Whether you're looking to increase your protein intake, boost essential vitamins and minerals or simply try something new, organic chicken liver is an affordable, sustainable and incredibly nourishing choice.
Sometimes the greatest superfoods aren't new discoveries at all—they're the ingredients our grandparents knew were worth celebrating.
