Liver, lamb, raw

Lamb liver is an organ meat, and the figures here describe it raw. It provides protein, fat and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 20g of protein, 6.2g of fat, 7.5mg of iron and 17300µg of vitamin A (retinol equivalent).

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Vitamin A supports normal vision and immune function, but excessive intake can be harmful. Liver and liver products are not recommended during pregnancy because of their high vitamin A content.
