Eating chicken gizzards is more common in many Asian cuisines, but few people realize just how many health benefits they can offer when prepared properly.
Below are some of the key advantages often associated with chicken gizzards, along with important notes to keep in mind.
1. Chicken gizzards help prevent and reduce iron-deficiency anemia
Chicken gizzards are one of the organ meats richest in iron—especially heme iron, which the body absorbs much more easily. Eating gizzards can help regulate, prevent, and reduce anemia caused by iron deficiency.
2. Chicken gizzards improve vision
Gizzards contain a high amount of vitamin A, a mineral essential for producing retinal photopigments. Because of this, eating chicken gizzards may help improve eyesight and reduce visual fatigue.
