Chicken livers are a true super-food. Livers from pastured chickens offer abundant vitamins A and D, protein, and four of the B vitamins, as well as iron, phosphorus, copper, zinc, and selenium. When mixed with probiotic-rich lacto-fermented mayonnaise, the nutrition increases even more, making this a great snack to serve on homemade sourdough crackers. Even kids (and finicky spouses) will love the mild taste of livers prepared like this.
