Ox liver is beef offal. The figures here describe liver coated in seasoned flour and stewed. It provides mainly protein and fat, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 25g of protein, 9.5g of fat, 7.8mg of iron and 17560µg of vitamin A.
Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Liver contains a high amount of vitamin A in the form of retinol. Liver and liver products are not recommended during pregnancy because excess vitamin A can harm the developing baby.
