Five Pig Liver Dishes, Bringing Culinary Delight into Spring
Spring has arrived, according to traditional Chinese medicine, “nourish the liver in spring, the heart in summer, the lungs in autumn, and the kidneys in winter.” Liver nourishment emphasizes abstinence from alcohol, controlling anger, getting sufficient sleep, and embracing healthy lifestyles like walking and hiking. A balanced diet is also crucial. Pig liver is a favorite choice because it’s rich in 13 essential vitamins, including microvita A, microvita D, and microvita B12. Here are some recommended dishes for your reference.
