À la carte:
As a coincidence, it's providing more than 15 g of potassium.
The usual FDA serving is 85 g.
Before you leave an iron message, please remember how much copper it's providing.
Even though there are lists of food sources of copper everywhere (many are incomplete), what's missing is how they look like when integrated into practice.
Some of you may have been annoyed that I didn't include the specific content for each food in the potassium thread, but it was doned on the purpose: by ranking foods according to amount, the person is tempted to prioritize certain items over others based on a specific nutrient, which is as silly as this 'Absurd Intake' of copper.
I find it better to have a comprehensive list of decent sources (most here provide more than 0.1 mg of cupre/serving), and they can add up to at least 2 mg without difficulty even if your selection misses the best sources.
Sometimes it's difficult to decide what to leave and what to discard. As an example (for being one of the foods with lowest content/serving), 1 medium apple provides 0.05 mg of copper, and it would seem reasonable to exclude it, but if the person eats 4 of these a day, you have 0.2 mg, which is close to the amount that some avocados provide, being considered good sources; so the apple contribution doesn't end up being insignificant.
It's interesting that this could've been brutalized to something close to 30 mg (!) by the inclusion of liver. Hopefully this thread encourages people to reconsider their struggle in getting enough copper.
After thinking about how this information could be more valued, I arrived at this:
The fructose–copper connection: Added sugars induce fatty liver and insulin resistance via copper deficiency
Also relevant:
Copper Deficiency In Humans
Do red lights increase the need for copper or precipitate an insufficiency?
