Chicken gizzards, often overlooked in the kitchen, are nutrient-rich, easy to prepare, and budget-friendly.
Popular worldwide, gizzards are enjoyed in various cuisines: grilled in Haiti and Southeast Asia,
added to soups in Mexic fried or boiled in,Africa and used in salads,
or pates in Europe. In the U.S., especially the South, fried gizzards are a comfort food.The gizzard is a muscular stomach that helps chickens break down food, grinding it with ingested particles like sand,
eliminating the need for teeth.
Gizzards are also found in other animals like crocodiles, birds, and fish.
High in protein and low in fat, they offer a healthy alternative to other parts of the chicken.
