Other Poultry
Like meat, poultry contains high quality proteins. Chicken, the most
consumed among the fowls, has 22.6% protein, 76.3% water and
traces of fat, vitamins and minerals.
Poultry meat consists of dark and white muscles. Dark muscles are
those found in parts of fowl‘s body which are always used. These are
the legs, thigh, wings, neck and rib cage. These are richer in fat, have
more connective tissues, and have higher riboflavin and myoglobin
content. Most people prefer the dark meat than white meat (from the
breast) because of its juiciness and flavor. Variety meats refer to the
meat of such organs as the gizzard, heart, kidneys and liver.
