About Gizzards
Gizzards are a small, flavorful, and nutrient-rich organ meat found in the digestive tract of birds, most commonly chickens. Known for their chewy texture, they are a popular ingredient in global cuisines, including Southern American, Southeast Asian, and African dishes. Gizzards are an excellent source of protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins like B12 and niacin, making them a great addition to a balanced diet. They are also low in fat and carbohydrates, making them a healthy choice for those seeking lean protein options. However, gizzards can be high in cholesterol, so moderation is key for individuals managing heart health or cholesterol levels. Whether simmered in stews, fried to a golden crisp, or grilled, gizzards bring a unique, satisfying flavor to meals while offering impressive nutritional benefits.
