Poultry
Farmed birds, such as chicken and turkey, are called poultry. Chickens are raised for their meat and eggs, whereas turkeys are raised only for their meat.Poultry meat is called white meat. It is a healthy source of protein and contains only a little fat. This is why the popularity of chicken and turkey meat has increased during the last few decades.
Chicken can be used in various kinds of foods: it can be grilled, fried or boiled.
Female chickens also lay eggs, which are a popular food for humans. An egg consists of a calcium-rich shell, which protects the egg white and egg yolk stored inside.
Eggs are eaten everywhere in the world. They can be either boiled or fried, and they can also be used in cooking and baking. Eggs contain a lot of protein.
