Giblets, chicken, raw

Chicken giblets are the internal organs of a chicken. These figures describe a raw mixed sample containing heart, liver and gizzard. They mainly provide protein and fat, alongside vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, the sample contains 17g protein, 8.2g fat, 5500µg vitamin A (retinol equivalent) and 6.7mg iron.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. The liver in this mixture contributes vitamin A. Liver and liver products are not recommended during pregnancy because their high vitamin A content can harm the developing baby. Raw chicken giblets need thorough cooking before eating.
