Pork Liver: How to Detox Before Eating

Pig liver contains various nutrients and is rich in vitamins A, as well as trace elements such as iron, zinc, and copper. It is tender and delicious but must be detoxified before consumption.

The pig's liver is a major toxin-transferring station and detoxifying organ. Various toxic metabolic products and certain toxins in the feed, such as pesticides, accumulate there and are either detoxified, excreted, or chemically processed for transport to the kidneys via urine. The liver can also develop inflammation and even liver cancer. Additionally, it may harbor diseases like liver flukes.

If the liver's toxins are not completely expelled or its detoxification function declines,toxic substances will remain in the blood of the liver. This could trigger cancer, leukemia, and other diseases.

Toxic pig liver blood is dispersed within countless hepatic sinusoids. After purchasing, rinse it under a tap, then soak for 1 to 2 hours to remove residual blood. Ensure that the water completely covers the pig liver. If cooking urgently, cut the liver into 4 to 6 pieces according to its size, gently wash in a basin, and then rinse thoroughly under running water.

When stir-frying pig liver, do not over-pursue tenderness; otherwise, effective detoxification and elimination of bacteria and parasites' eggs cannot be achieved.
