Duck Liver
Description
Duck liver, the liver of the fowl, is a highly concentrated source of vitamin A, iron, protein, copper, phosphorus and vitamin B-12. It is also a good source of vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K.
Duck liver is very high in cholesterol and saturated fatty acids, and should therefore be avoided by persons on a Low Fat Diet.
