Can pregnant women eat chicken gizzards?

Chicken gizzard is the stomach of the chicken. The stomach of poultry is divided into muscular stomach and glandular stomach. The glandular stomach is smaller and secretes gastric juice, while the muscular stomach is larger and has thicker meat and is responsible for storing and grinding food. So it can be said that gizzard refers to the stomach of the chicken. Chicken gizzards help chickens digest food, so they must be washed clean before cooking. Pregnant women should pay more attention to their diet, adjust it according to their physical condition, and also do proper exercise to benefit the baby.
