About Chicken gizzard and hearts
Chicken gizzard and hearts are nutrient-rich organ meats commonly consumed in global cuisines, including Southern American, Asian, and African dishes. Gizzards are tough, muscular stomach organs that aid in digestion, while chicken hearts are tender and small, offering a mild flavor. Both are excellent sources of protein, vitamins including B12, and essential minerals such as iron and zinc, which support energy production and immune function. Gizzards are particularly high in selenium, vital for cell health. Low in carbohydrates, they are favored in ketogenic and low-carb diets. However, they can be high in cholesterol, so moderation is recommended for individuals with heart health concerns. Often stir-fried, grilled, or stew-cooked, these organ meats are a delicious way to incorporate vital nutrients into a diet, aligning well with principles of nose-to-tail eating that promote sustainability.
