Eating chicken gizzards is not harmful to the body.

Eating dark red animal offal can help people with iron deficiency anemia replenish iron, because offal is not only high in iron content, but also has a very high absorption and utilization rate. Liver can also help some people improve their eye health, because the content of vitamin A in animal liver is particularly high, which can effectively prevent and treat eye diseases such as night blindness, dry eye disease, and corneal softening.

In addition, the liver is also the base of nutrient reserves. It contains all 13 vitamins needed by the human body, among which the contents of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B2, and vitamin B12 are particularly high. The protein content of liver exceeds that of lean pork, and it is very rich in iron, zinc, copper, manganese and other trace elements. It is almost the most complete and richest food in nature.

In terms of the content of various B vitamins and trace elements, kidneys, hearts and poultry gizzards (such as chicken gizzards and duck gizzards) are significantly higher than ordinary meat. In other words, they are "red meat" that is higher in nutrients.

Extended information:

The following three parts of the chicken contain highly toxic substances and must not be eaten

1. Chicken tips

Chicken tips are also called chicken tips "Chicken butt" and "chicken butt tip" refer to the upper part of the chicken butt with long tail feathers, and the meat is fat and tender. This area is where lymph glands are concentrated. Because the macrophages in the lymph glands can eat bacteria and viruses, and even carcinogens, but cannot decompose them, the toxins will be deposited in the buttocks. Over time, the chicken tip has become a large warehouse for storing viruses and germs.

2. Chicken skin

Although chicken skin is delicious, it is not good for your health. Generally speaking, chicken skin has more fat, higher cholesterol, and higher levels of contaminants. Especially for roasted chicken, after roasting, the cholesterol in the chicken skin is oxidized, forming cholesterol oxidation products, which causes great harm to the human body.

3. Chicken neck

This part has very little meat, but blood vessels and lymph glands are relatively concentrated. There is no problem in eating something occasionally to satisfy your cravings. It is best to remove the skin when eating, because some detoxification glands such as lymph are concentrated in the subcutaneous fat of the neck. These glands contain toxins in animals and hormones in feed.
