Chicken hearts, a nutrient-dense organ meat, are prized in various cuisines worldwide, including Brazilian, Asian, and Eastern European dishes. They offer a rich source of protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy metabolism and red blood cell production. These small, lean organs are known for their mildly gamey flavor and tender, chewy texture. Often grilled, sautéed, or stewed, chicken hearts are versatile and adapt well to spices and marinades. While they are lower in fat than some other organ meats, they still contain cholesterol, so moderation is recommended for individuals managing heart health concerns. Packed with essential nutrients, chicken hearts are a popular choice for those seeking a sustainable, cost-effective, and nutritious addition to their diet.
