About Goose liver

Goose liver is the edible liver of a goose, a smooth, dense organ meat with a rich, pronounced flavour. It may be sold fresh or frozen, and its colour and texture can vary with the bird and handling.

It is cooked in preparations such as pan-fried or braised dishes, and may also be used in processed liver products. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish plain liver from pâté or other preparations, and raw from cooked liver, since added ingredients and moisture loss affect measured composition.
