Whether it's at a banquet, a restaurant, or a Japanese and Korean restaurant, you can often see the Japanese sashimi French foie gras dish.

Although foie gras is delicious, it is fatty liver, what is going on?

However, I still like our country's "Full Han Table", which is how spectacular and mighty it is to put on the table!

Sashimi and foie gras, although I personally don't like to eat it, but the people who like it should account for the majority. Because I can always see relatives and friends who eat at the same table eating with relish.

A few days ago, at the housewarming banquet, unexpectedly, this dish was served again. I suddenly had the urge to eat foie gras. Sashimi is not to be considered, I do not like to eat raw food myself. So, I clipped a chopstick foie gras. Try it, well, it's soft, it's delicate, and it tastes a little bit of lard.

Although foie gras is delicious, it is fatty liver, what is going on?

My uncle, who was sitting next to me, saw that I had eaten and said, "Eat less, I used to help deal with the ingredients, and at that time, I saw that the foie gras was much larger than normal foie gras, which was quite abnormal." ”

I think that probably a lot of people know how foie gras is raised, because I searched for "about the way to raise foie gras" in the headlines and jumped out a lot of content.

Roughly understand, it is like this.

Farms that produce fatty livers usually force ducks or geese to develop fatty liver disease by gavage or duck filling methods by forced feed directly into the stomach.

The geese are usually free-range for three or four months before being kept in cages, which are so small that the geese are not allowed to move freely inside. When I first started filling the liver, I could only feed the geese once or twice a day, and then, three or four times a day, basically after ten days, I ate five meals a day. About a month of filling the foie gras to reach ten times the size of normal foie gras.

Well, foie gras is "fatty liver". Does this claim hold?

"Foie gras has a very high fat content, accounting for 40% to 60%, so it can also be said to be fatty liver."

So do we eat foie gras harmful to the body?

With this question, I began to search again, "Is eating foie gras harmful to the human body?" ”

I saw this passage:

Compared with normal foie gras, the fat content of specially cultured liver goose is as high as 60%, but it is not the same as the pathological sense of fatty liver, and foie gras used as a commodity cannot have symptoms such as steatohepatitis and fatty cirrhosis, otherwise it cannot be eaten.

In other words, eating foie gras is harmless to the body. Also, see a lot of talk about foie gras is good for the body. However, if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc., you still do not eat well.

Having said that, just seeing the development process of foie gras, my heart is still quite heavy.
