Brilio.net - Chicken liver is a food ingredient that is often cooked into various dishes such as satay, fried chili sauce and soup. This part of the chicken is known for its unique texture and delicious taste. Apart from its delicious taste, liver is also rich in important nutrients such as protein, iron and vitamin A which provide health benefits for the body.
The large number of processed liver products makes this food ingredient often sought after in the market. Unfortunately, not all chicken livers on the market are sold fresh. This certainly makes consumers have to be more careful in choosing the liver they want to buy.
The reason is, chicken liver that is not fresh has an unpleasant taste because it is bitter. Apart from that, poor quality liver is also easily destroyed when processed. This was explained further by a porridge trader named Ady.
Through his personal YouTube account, Ady admitted that he often buys chicken gizzards to be processed into satay as a complement to chicken porridge. Well, he has his own way of distinguishing between fresh and bad gizzards.

Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Ady Dongky on Tuesday (30/7), he admitted that fresh liver usually has a fresh red color. In contrast, liver that is already ugly tends to be pale and starts to turn brown in color. Chicken liver that has turned greenish also indicates that the ingredient is no longer fresh.

Apart from color, you can also distinguish fresh chicken liver from its aroma. Just like meat, good offal such as liver and gizzards also have a fresh aroma. On the other hand, poor quality chicken liver tends to have a quite strong fishy aroma.
Well, you can also choose chicken liver that is still whole. The condition of the chicken liver being intact, especially if it is still attached to the heart and gizzard, usually indicates that the food ingredient is still fresh. Avoid having chicken livers that are torn or even destroyed because they will be more difficult to process later.

In the market, chicken liver is usually sold individually or by the kilo. Well, chicken liver that is not fresh is often sold at a cheaper price and in large portions. Don't be tempted by cheap prices to get more portions, okay? Make sure you choose chicken livers well if you want the cooking results to be tastier and not bitter.
