The pork section only has one, everyone thinks it is the best, the expert points out the shocking truth

In the past, pork liver was always bought by many people to be processed into nutritious dishes such as medicinal stews, steamed water, cooked porridge… and used for pregnant women, sick people or just waking up. So compared to ordinary pork, the heart is really tasty and nutritious.

Assoc Prof TS.BS Nguyen Thi Lam – Director of the Viet Duc Institute of Nutrition (Hanoi) said, in terms of nutritional value, pork liver is no more nutritious than pork. The fact that people think that pork heart is nutritious and good for sick people is partly because the heart has only one fruit, partly because of an old concept.

According to PGS Lam, in 100g of pork liver, there are 15.1g of protein, 3.2g of fat, 7mg of calcium, 213mg of phosphorus, 8.0mcg of vitamin A, 5.9g of iron, 0.34mg of vitamin B1, 0.49mg of vitamin B2, 5.7mg of vitamin PP.

Whereas in 100g lean pork loin contains 19g protein, 7g fat, other nutritional components equivalent to pork liver.

Comparing the nutritional value, pork liver is no better than pork.

“So you can see that the heart of the pig is mostly muscle and there is some meat. By comparing the nutritional value of the main nutrients, namely protein and fat, the heart is lower compared to pork,” said Associate Professor Lam.

Not only that, pork heart is counted as an internal organ that contains a lot of cholesterol. Statistics show that 100g of pork liver has 140mg of cholesterol. If you eat regularly the heart will increase cholesterol, which is not good for the elderly, people with metabolic disorders, increase blood cholesterol, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, diabetes, gout, kidney disease, overweight.

From the analysis above, this expert said that pork liver is not more nutritious than pork as people think. Association In fact, people with heart disease often experience high blood pressure and atherosclerosis, if you eat a lot of liver it will make blood cholesterol very high and dangerous.

It’s not that people shouldn’t eat pork liver, because it only eats from 30 – 50g/meal.

From the perspective of oriental medicine, combined with pork liver can make medicine, but also should not eat a lot.

From the perspective of oriental medicine, master – general practitioner Vu Quoc Trung (a member of the Vietnam Oriental Medicine Association) said that the heart has many effects to help nourish the body, but that is by no means more nutritious or better than meat. .

“The team can combine other herbs in traditional medicine to make healthy dishes. However, it is only good if eaten in moderation, not just using a lot to be healthy. For example, you can use lotus seeds cooked with pork liver to help nourish the mind, calm nerves, and help people with insomnia, depression, mental instability, etc.

Specifically, use 40g of lotus seeds, 1 pork liver, 20g of herbs and seasonings to taste. Wash the pork liver, cut into pieces with lotus seeds, put in a saucepan, add 1 liter of water to cook, wait until the lotus seeds are cooked, then add the spices, stir well to eat,” said the Chinese herbalist. .
