100 grams of beef liver contains about 15,000 mcg of vitamin A, while carrots contain only 2,000 mcg. This means that beef liver contains 7.5 times more vitamin A than carrots.

Beef liver is also rich in other nutrients, such as B vitamins, iron, and zinc.
How to use beef liver
Beef liver can be consumed in various forms: fried, stewed, in the form of a pate, or added to other dishes. It is important to remember that beef liver is a rather high-calorie product, so it should be consumed in moderation.
