praxisproject Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I can get fresh chicken livers at my local supermarket, but I can't seem to find them anywhere else. My question is, I'm pretty sure these are not free range chicken livers, I'm also pretty sure they're not corn fed, but I suspect they will be grain fed. Would I be better off eating these or skipping these? No liver vs these livers? I'm in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percypat Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I really couldn't say, but in case solidarity helps: the chicken livers I bought totally fell into this category. (I got them at my local IGA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted June 4, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2013 I buy chicken livers at Whole Foods periodically without knowing anything about the chickens they come from. I think they are good and incredibly cheap - like $2.50 for one pound of livers. I get livers, hearts, and gizzards from my local farmer because he and his wife can't eat them all and I am his only customer who will, but he doesn't have them regularly, so I get them from the store too.

primalfeedingfrenzy Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'm in Atlanta, GA and I love chicken livers but I won't eat any from a grocery store unless it's Whole Foods and I know they're from free range chickens. I get mine delivered from a local farm that's organic and all their cattle & poultry is pastured. You will taste a noticeable difference in quality.

Renee Lee Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Personally, I feel that the good outweighs the bad in conventional organ meats. There's absolutely some downsides to them, but in the face of an otherwise squeaky clean diet, it's not going to be the ONE thing that sends you over the edge. We stress the importance of sourcing the highest quality meat you can find and afford. If you cant find high quality chicken livers, you aren't a failure, but you also shouldn't stop looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Yay! Now I can make pate! I'll keep looking for organic, but I think our retail supply chains aren't helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
