About Gizzard
Gizzard is a small, muscular organ found in the digestive tract of birds, particularly chickens and turkeys. Known for its chewy texture, gizzards are often used in various global cuisines, including Southern American, African, and Asian recipes. Nutritionally, gizzards are a rich source of protein, essential for muscle repair and growth, and contain important vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support energy production and immune function. They are relatively low in fat but can become less healthy if fried or prepared with heavy sauces. Gizzards are also high in cholesterol, which makes them unsuitable for individuals with certain dietary restrictions. Often slow-cooked, grilled, or used in stews, the flavorful gizzard is a versatile and economical ingredient, offering both culinary appeal and nutritional benefits when consumed in moderation.
