Nutrient-dense grass-fed beef and liver bolognese recipe

Liver is incredibly nutrient dense and the original “superfood”. It is high in protein and rich in B vitamins, vitamin A, iron, and choline. Choline is an interesting compound that has many roles within the body. It is involved in many different processes such as cell membrane integrity, DNA synthesis, fat metabolism, and transport as well as a healthy nervous system. Choline is particularly important for postmenopausal women’s liver health. When cooking with liver, always choose organic or grass fed liver when possible to reduce exposure to excess toxins, pesticides, etc.
