Found in the lower stomach of fowl, this muscular pouch grinds the bird`s food, often with the aid of stones or grit swallowed for this purpose. The portion that actually does the work is in the center of the pouch and is usually removed before the gizzard reaches the market. Gizzards can be very tough unless cooked slowly with moist heat, such as braising.

The highly muscular, second enlargement in a bird's digestive tract that, together with the first enlargement, functions like the human stomach. If you dissect the dried, mummified remains of any nestling martin you find in the nests at season's end, you will invariably find the black, grape-sized gizzard completely impacted with broken glass, metal fragments, shells, and white quartz pebbles that the parents characteristically feed their nestlings for grit.
