Four ounces of liver only has 0.4 mg manganese. If you're trying to do a radical manganese-depletion diet to deal with acute toxicity, liver should probably be limited. But for one or two servings a week, it is not adding that much manganese and it has a very strong iron-to-manganese ratio, and it is an incredible source of other nutrients, so it's the last thing I'd cut when trying to restrict manganese if just trying to eat a relatively low-manganese diet.

It surprises me that there's so little managanese in liver even though the liver stores it. Good point with the iron-to-manganese ratio and the other nutrients.
