What cooked braised beef liver means
The food is beef liver prepared by braising, and the nutrition reference is 100 g cooked. It is a variety meat rather than a muscle-meat steak. Cooking changes water content and weight, so raw liver values should not be substituted for this cooked entry. A recipe with flour, oil, gravy or salt can have a different final nutrition profile.
Beef liver protein and vitamin A per 100 g
USDA lists 191 kcal and 29.08 g protein per 100 g cooked. The same amount contains 5.26 g fat, 2.947 g saturated fat, 5.13 g carbohydrate and 79 mg sodium. Micronutrients include 9,442 mcg RAE vitamin A, 6.54 mg iron, 253 mcg folate, 352 mg potassium, 1.2 mcg vitamin D and 3.3 mcg vitamin K. The record also lists 396 mg cholesterol, so the page should present the complete profile rather than only the high-protein headline.
Portion and safety context
Because 100 g cooked liver is a dense reference amount, use the actual cooked portion when tracking a meal. Liver is not a replacement for medical treatment for anemia or another condition. For food safety, USDA FSIS advises cooking red-meat organ and variety meats such as liver to a minimum internal temperature of 160°F (71.1°C), measured with a food thermometer.
How to use this record
Braised liver is commonly served with onions, grains or vegetables, but added ingredients are not included in this USDA entry. The very high vitamin A and cholesterol values make portion and frequency relevant, especially for people who are pregnant, managing a condition or taking advice about vitamin A. Use a current clinician or dietitian for individualized guidance and use this page for transparent database facts.
