About Moela
Moela, commonly known as chicken gizzard, is a nutrient-rich organ meat celebrated in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Brazilian, Filipino, and African cooking. These small, muscular organs are a good source of protein, iron, zinc, and several B vitamins, including B12, which supports energy production and healthy blood cells. Moela is low in carbohydrates but contains cholesterol and saturated fat, so moderation is key for heart health. With its chewy texture, it’s often stewed, grilled, or fried, and paired with flavorful spices or sauces. While Moela is an affordable protein option, its nutritional value makes it increasingly popular among those seeking to incorporate organ meats into their diet. However, like all organ meats, it’s advisable to consume it occasionally rather than daily to maintain a balanced diet.
