The common pig internal organs include lung, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, kidney, heart and spleen. Chicken viscera includes chicken lung, chicken heart, chicken gall, chicken liver, chicken kidney and so on.

Can animal viscera be eaten?

1, benefits

The nutrient content of most animals' viscera is higher than that of muscles, especially the liver, which is the most concentrated place in animals' bodies. The protein content of liver is high, and the fat content is lower than that of meat. In the past, pig liver has always been regarded as a "nutritional treasure house" with good quality and low price, and has been widely recommended. The contents of vitamins, trace elements and other important nutrients in other internal organs, such as kidney, lung, intestine, abdomen and brain, are lower than those in the liver, and their nutritional value is not as good as that in the liver. Animal internal organs can have a good nourishing effect, which is helpful for improving physical fitness and helping to restore health, and can have a good effect of storing energy.

2, disadvantages

Most visceral fat content is higher than muscle, and cholesterol content is almost higher than muscle. Animal viscera, such as pig liver, pig intestine, pig brain, etc., contain high cholesterol components, and eating too much is not good for human health, and it is easy to cause hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis. Animal viscera contains high cholesterol, so we must pay attention to proper consumption to avoid hyperlipidemia.
