What are chicken hearts and gizzards?

The gizzard is a small muscular organ found in the digestive tract of a chicken, some birds, and fish. It’s dark in color with a chewier and tougher texture. The gizzards and hearts are a good source of protein, iron, and zinc, and are low-energy-dense foods, but they do contain a relatively high amount of saturated fat.

Chicken liver, another nutritious part of the chicken, also packs similar nutrition. If you suffer from an iron deficiency like anemia, it’s better to add them to your diet.
