So, what is gizzards?
Gizzards are a type of organ meat that come from the digestive system of poultry, such as chickens or turkeys. These muscular organs are responsible for grinding up food before it enters the intestines, making them tough and full of texture. Gizzards have a rich, meaty flavor that is unique from other cuts of poultry, and they are often used in dishes such as stews, curries, and fried chicken. Despite their reputation as a less desirable cut of meat, gizzards are a nutritious source of protein, iron, and vitamins B6 and B12, making them a great addition to any diet.
