Summary
Why should we eat our liver… and other organ meats? Are they really as nutrient-rich as we've been told? And, if we do decide to go for it, what's the best approach to adding them to the diet? James Barry, chef, author, and founder of Pluck, organ-based seasoning, sheds light on the subject of "offal" (organ meats). He explains why organ meats are, essentially, "Mother Nature's multivitamin." He gives a brief history of organ meat consumption, explains cuts we may be unfamiliar with, and shares ideas for how to go about including them in the diet (including stating with cuts that are most similar to muscle meat). He shares clever ways to eat liver and other organ meats, too!

| 0:32.8 | It is liver. |
| 0:33.8 | And they're not getting all the other organs. |
| 0:35.7 | And so my whole thing is like, well, let's try to get the other ones too, because they |
| 0:39.2 | all have benefits. |
| 0:40.2 | I mean, like heart has coenzyme Q10, spleen is high in vitamin C. They all have really |
