🌟 Why Chicken Gizzards Are a Superfood
The gizzard is a muscular organ chickens use to grind up food (since they don’t have teeth).
To do this job, it’s packed with dense, fibrous tissue — which translates to:
High protein
Low fat
Rich in essential nutrients
And unlike synthetic supplements, these nutrients come in a bioavailable form — meaning your body absorbs and uses them more efficiently.
✅ Real food > pills — especially when it’s this nutrient-dense.
