Title: Chicken Gizzard?
Post by: kurite on April 08, 2010, 09:05:01 am

Hey just found a place that sell grass fed chicken gizzards? Any comments on them or how they taste? How about chicken heart?
thanks

raw chicken heart is a good small treat.

I buy chicken gizzards at a local farmer's market here. They taste like a tougher, fattier version of chicken. They're incredibly tasty. I've never had heart, though. I've looked and looked, but I can't find any.  :(

GS do they taste better than raw chicken muscle meats?

yesterday I got whole grass feed hen. I ate liver, heart and gizzard, it was delicious, but it was some little stones like a sand in a gizzard. i didnt know where was it from because it was really well rinsed. >:

Heart and gizzard are the best tasting parts of chicken in my opinion. The only thing that I don't like is the smell, after a few days.

    I think chickens ingest sand and pebbles (hence they'll go for hard grain) to help them grind and digest other foods in their gizzard.

yes it could be the reason... i heard ostrich swallow rocks, but  didnt know hens do the same.
next time i will cut it into small pieces before washing.  :)
