About Poultry liver

Poultry liver is the edible liver of a domesticated bird, commonly used cooked in pâtés, spreads, and savoury dishes. It is a small, soft organ with a dark reddish-brown colour and a pronounced, rich flavour.

The term does not identify the bird species, and livers from different poultry may vary in size and flavour. It is sold fresh or frozen and may be cooked, chopped, or blended into prepared products; these forms are not identical for culinary or nutrition comparisons.
