Small but so useful chicken hearts. The weight of one heart is about 25 grams, but these 25 grams contain a lot of iron, which has a beneficial effect on hematopoiesis and prevents the development of anemia. In addition to iron, the hearts contain many essential amino acids, i.e. amino acids that are not synthesized by the cells of our body, and therefore can only be obtained from outside.
