About Poussin
Poussin, often referred to as a spring chicken, is a young chicken typically weighing around 400-750 grams. Originating from French cuisine, it is prized for its tender meat and delicate flavor. Poussin is a lean protein source, low in fat compared to older birds, making it a healthier choice for those watching their fat intake. Rich in essential nutrients, it provides B vitamins, iron, and zinc, which play key roles in energy production, immune function, and overall health. Commonly roasted, grilled, or spatchcocked, Poussin’s small size ensures rapid cooking, preserving moisture and natural flavors. While it’s a nutritious option, the healthiness of the dish depends on preparation methods; deep-frying or using heavy sauces may add excess calories and fat. Ideal for elegant meals or portion-controlled dining, Poussin brings a touch of refinement and nutrition to the table.
