Foie Gras
contains a large amount of natural, unprocessed fat, a non negligible amount of good cholesterol yet a
surprisingly low amount of carbohydrates as well as nearly no sugar.
Interestingly enough apples and figs are complementary with Foie Gras, they are a match in nutritional heaven. Goose and duck Foie Gras
are rich in monounsaturated essential fatty acids beneficial to your health. And it is the fat where the flavor is.
However, Foie Gras is no daily supplement or staple food, it is consumed on festive occasions in relatively small quantities as a hors d'oeuvre or appetizer, rarely as a full meal. Remember, just like caviar, Foie Gras is a luxury item.
