What kind of food is this?
Pig spleen. At 22.3mg of iron per 100g, it is especially high in iron even among meats.
Per 100g: 100kcal, 17.9g of protein, and 2.59g of fat.
How to serve
Pork calls for caution about parasites and Aujeszky's disease. Aujeszky's disease causes severe illness in dogs, and Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries asks that pork not be fed raw to pets but cooked thoroughly. With that much iron, use it as a small part of a meal.
