The power of liver chips by Modern Native

No food becomes an everyday meal if it doesn't taste good. Liver is considered by some to be the most nutritious food, but few people enjoy it.

After much trial and error, we have managed to make chips from the liver, where the distinctive taste is much more tolerable, the nutrients are maximally used and they have an optimal crunch, without any additives except sea salt.

Sources of raw materials

• The ingredients in these food supplements come from grass-fed beef from the Netherlands.
• Because the cows are raised on natural pastures and are well cared for, the nutrients are optimally preserved and you get better quality organ meat.
• The main suppliers of organ meats for Modern Native are Zorg & Natuur (Care & Nature), Vlees van Ons (Meat from Us) and Reestdal Rund (Reestdal Beef).

Why local Dutch farms?

• This business provides a livelihood for local ecologically minded farmers.
• It creates jobs in the sector and thus supports the creation of more organic farms and ranches.
• Where there is more demand, there will be more supply. This will eventually allow the price of quality meat, including organ meat, to fall.

More local organic farmers means less traditional herds (meat production) and happier Dutch cattle.

• Money spent on farms stays in the economy, which has a domino effect and creates more jobs on other local farms.
• Shorter distribution chains reduce unnecessary transport.
• Where cattle are raised according to organic standards, the soil is healthier. Naturally grazing cattle return nutrients to the soil through the urine and manure they excrete.

Why supplement the liver?

The liver is full of vitamins and minerals!

Human nutrition research often demonstrates the concept of "like promotes like". This means that micro and macronutrients in animal organs and tissues support the same organs and tissues in humans.

For example, animal muscle meat promotes the growth and repair of human muscles. Similarly, the nutrients contained in the meat of animal organs support the same organs in the human body.

When it comes to the nutritional value of the liver, most attention is paid to B vitamins and iron. However, each piece of liver contains a number of other vitamins and minerals.

Liver is a good source of the following vitamins and minerals:

• Selenium: Beef liver contains 52% of the daily dose of selenium, which is essential for thyroid function, protects cells from damage and helps the body fight infections.
• Vitamin C: Beef liver contains 2 milligrams of vitamin C, which can boost your immunity.
• Phosphorus: Beef liver contains 50% of the daily amount of phosphorus, the most abundant mineral in the body. Phosphorus helps to create ATP and, in cooperation with B vitamins, supports the function of your muscles, kidneys and your nervous system.
• Choline: chicken liver contains 54.4 milligrams of choline, which is essential for brain health. Specifically, choline is essential for the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that supports your memory, mood and muscle control.

In very rare cases, some individuals should avoid eating organ meats because they contain large amounts of vitamin A.

A good source of vitamin A is a 100 gram serving of raw liver, which contains a whopping 338% of the daily allowance. In most circumstances this is a good thing (not a bad thing).

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that strengthens eyesight, the immune system and reproductive health. In addition, it helps support healthy organs - especially your heart, lungs and kidneys.

While there are many health benefits associated with vitamin A, it is important to remember that vitamin A deficiency is rare and excessive amounts can cause toxicity in the body.

• Consuming high amounts of beta-carotene (found in vitamin A) can cause your skin to turn yellow-orange.
• In addition, pregnant women should not consume too much vitamin A as it can cause birth defects.
• Finally, some medications, such as Accutane, can be toxic when taking vitamin A.
