It often lingers at the back of the meat counter, unnoticed. And yet, the chicken gizzard could very well become your new favorite in the kitchen. Discreet, affordable, and surprisingly flavorful when prepared properly… this small piece of poultry has all the makings of a star. Nutritionists have long been convinced of this. So why are we still overlooking it?
A truly impressive nutritional profile
The gizzard is, first and foremost, a muscle. A strong, dense muscle that works hard in poultry. And this is reflected in its composition: it is naturally rich in protein and remarkably low in fat.
One hundred grams of cooked gizzard contains approximately 20 grams of high-quality protein—ideal for maintaining muscle mass and staying energized. It also provides vitamin B12 (essential for the nervous system), iron to combat fatigue, zinc and selenium to boost the immune system, and choline, a valuable nutrient for memory and overall bodily function.
