Surprisingly, yes! They’re packed with protein, iron, and zinc. In fact, a cup of cooked gizzards has more iron than a similar amount of beef liver—without that strong “liver” taste. They’re also relatively low in fat, so they’re a great choice if you want a hearty, satisfying meal without the guilt.
Just watch the sodium if you’re buying them pre-seasoned or canned. And, of course, eat them in moderation—they are high in cholesterol, but current research says dietary cholesterol isn’t the villain we once thought. Your call, but in my book, anything that tastes good and keeps you full is a win.
