Though the idea of eating offal and giblets doesn’t appeal to everyone, they are a good source of protein as well as various vitamins and minerals. Refer to the calorie counter for offal and giblets to determine the carbohydrate, protein, and fats content of each item.

High Concentration of Vitamins

You may not know it, but liver is the most highly concentrated natural source of vitamin A (retinol). Offal and giblets also contain high levels of B-complex vitamins as well as vitamin K and vitamin D. Brains are an especially good source of vitamin B12 and vitamin C. The kidneys are also a great source of B vitamins including niacin and riboflavin.

Small Portions are Key

While offal and giblets are rich in protein as well as various vitamins and minerals, they are fairly high in calories and fats when compared to traditional cuts of meat. The key to enjoying offal and giblets is to eat them in moderation. Fortunately, this is easy because offal and giblets are small when compared to traditional cuts of meat. Offal and giblets contain no carbs but they do contain cholesterol which is another reason to watch how much you eat.

If you refer to the calorie counter for offal and giblets you will see that they are high in protein and fats as well as various vitamins and minerals. Though offal and giblets are not as commonly consumed as more traditional cuts of meat, they do provide a unique profile of nutrients and several significant health benefits.

Benefits of Vitamin A

Vitamin A, a vitamin found in many types of offal and giblets, is an incredibly powerful vitamin. Not only is it a natural antioxidant that helps to protect your body from free radical damage and certain types of cancer, but it is also a catalyst for many important biological processes. The vitamin A found in offal and giblets can help to prevent infection, boost hormone production, aid healthy digestion, improve vision, and promote bone and blood health. Refer to the calorie calculator for offal and giblets to determine the vitamin A content of each item.

Essential Minerals

As the calorie counter will show, offal and giblets are not only rich in vitamins – they are also a great source of essential minerals. For example, the kidneys of pork, beef, lamb and veal are incredibly rich in both iron and zinc. In addition to its vitamin A content, liver is also a good source of both of these minerals – beef liver is especially high in copper as well. Though eating brains may not seem appetizing to some, they are a great source of phosphorus and niacin.
