Duck gizzards are the muscular stomachs of ducks. The stomach of birds is divided into glandular stomach. The glandular stomach wall is thin, and the parietal cells secrete gastric acid and various digestive enzymes for soaking and digesting food; The muscular stomach has a well-developed muscular wall, the inner wall is covered with a hard horny membrane (called chicken gizzard-membrane in Chinese medicine, the coat of duck gizzard), and the inner cavity contains some small sand grains (swallowed by birds), which act like teeth and are used to grind food.
The main nutritional components of duck gizzards are carbohydrates, protein, fat, nicotinic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and selenium. Duck gizzards are rich in iron, so women can eat more appropriately. Chinese medicine believes that duck gizzards are sweet and salty and have the effect of strengthening the stomach.
