Beef Liver
Beef liver can be introduced around 6 months. It's one of the most nutrient-dense foods available.
How to serve at this age
6-9 months: Puree cooked liver with vegetables to mellow the flavor. 9-12 months: Offer finely minced or in pate form. 12-24 months: Include in meatballs or meat sauces.
Nutrition
Extremely rich in iron, vitamin A, B12, folate, and copper. Complete protein source. Supports brain development.
A note from the editors
Soaking liver in milk for 30 minutes before cooking reduces the strong flavor. Mix with milder meats.
Good to know
Due to very high vitamin A content, limit to 1-2 servings per week. Choose organic liver when possible. Cook thoroughly.
