Chicken Gizzard

Nutritional Value

Chicken gizzard naturally provides high-quality animal protein and essential amino acids, along with nutrients such as vitamin B12, niacin, iron, zinc, selenium and phosphorus.

Although the gizzard is anatomically part of the digestive system, it is predominantly muscular tissue and is nutritionally treated more like muscle meat than a secreting organ.
