What is Halal?
Every religion has its own characteristics and rules. Many faiths also have their own dietary or consumables restrictions.
The word Halal is derived from the Arabic language and means ‘acceptable’ or ‘permissible’, relating to the source of the produce or ingredients, the cleanliness of premises, preparation methods and the final product.
Conversely, non-Halal (Haram) means non-permissible or unacceptable. “Halal” is similar to the concept of “kosher” food requirements under Jewish dietary law, and refers to food, drink and other consumables that Muslims consume as part of Islamic dietary requirements.
Because many food products may contain a combination of Halal and non-Halal ingredients, some food companies choose to have their products assessed for halal suitability in order for Muslims (locally or importing countries) to be able to clearly identify which products they may consume.
This does not affect the quality, nature, or taste of the product. Moreover, the Halal products must meet the relevant standards for food safety, quality, and nutrition.
How are the funds from halal certification used?
The service fees paid to Halal Australia for halal certification and accreditation are used to maintain the normal costs of running a registered business in Australia.
These include overhead costs such as utilities, rent, inventory and supplies, and employee salaries, as well as income taxes paid to the Australian government.
Inspection fees also include auditing services, which are undertaken to maintain quality control of the premises and products and which cover standard expenses such as service, transportation and travel time.
Interesting Chicken Info:
Chicken is arguably the most commonly consumed meat worldwide.
It is particularly popular among fitness enthusiasts due to the protein content.
High-protein foods can help you reach your health and fitness goals, such as building and maintaining muscle while consuming low amounts of fat.
Chicken comes in a variety of cuts, including breasts, thighs, wings, drumsticks, maryland, tenderloins (tenders), riblets and more.
Each cut contains its unique amount of protein, fat and calories. Flavour also varies in each.
Chicken Breast
This is one of the most popular cuts.
A skinless, cooked chicken breast contains 31 grams of protein and 165 calories per 100 grams.
80% of those calories come from protein, while 20% comes from fat.
Chicken breast is especially popular among bodybuilders and those who want to lose weight. Its high protein and low-calorie contents are a winning combination.
The chicken leg has two parts — the thigh and the drumstick.
Chicken Thighs
One skinless, boneless, cooked chicken thigh of 50 grams has about 13 grams of protein and 105 calories. This is equal to 26 grams of protein and 210 calories per 100 grams.
53% of the calories come from protein, while 47% comes from fat.
Interestingly, chicken thighs have a slightly darker colour than chicken breast. This is because the chicken’s legs are more active and contain more myoglobin. This molecule helps provide active muscles with oxygen that also makes them redder.
Some people find that the darkness of chicken thighs gives them a more succulent taste.
Chicken Drumsticks
The drumstick is the lower part of the chicken leg, also known as the calf.
It has 28.3 grams of protein per 100 grams and 172 calories. 70% of the calories come from protein, while 30% comes from fat.
Many people prefer to eat a drumstick with the skin on. The ratio then changes, with 53% of the calories coming from protein and 47% coming from fat.
Chicken Wings
The wing consists of three parts — the drumette, the wingette and the wing tip. They are often consumed as snacks or served as bar food.
One chicken wing without the skin or bones (21 grams) has 6.4 grams of protein. This is equal to 30.5 grams of protein per 100 grams.
They have about 42 calories per wing, or 203 calories per 100 grams. 64% of the calories come from protein, while 36% comes from fat.
As with drumsticks, most people eat chicken wings with the skin on. A chicken wing with skin contains 99 calories, with 39% of the calories coming from protein and 61% from fat.
Which Cut Should You Eat?
It depends on your health and fitness goals.
While all cuts of chicken are great sources of protein, some are leaner.
The extra fat in the thigh, drumstick and wings can benefit in some areas but hinder others.
If you’re trying to lose weight, then chicken breast is the best cut for you.
It is the leanest part of the chicken while having the fewest calories but the most protein.
For example, chicken breast is ideal for bodybuilders, since it has the fewest calories.
Watching calories is especially important for them prior to participating in events,
Given that this is when they need to have low body fat. Getting ready for the beach? Eat breast!
However, people who are following low-carb type diets may benefit from eating fattier cuts of chicken.
If your goal is to build muscle or gain weight, you will need to eat more calories than your body burns daily.
People who fall into this group can benefit from eating fattier cuts of chicken since they contain more calories.
Lastly, people who want to maintain their muscle mass or improve recovery may benefit from eating the breast. It contains the most protein by weight, which is the most important factor for them when it comes to choosing which cut of chicken to eat.
If you want to lose weight, maintain muscle mass or improve recovery, chicken breast is ideal. It is lean and has the most protein by weight. Fattier cuts may be beneficial for those on low-carb or keto diets, as well as those trying to gain weight or build muscle.
The Bottom Line: Chicken is a great source of protein and a great addition to your diet. The cut of chicken you choose should suit your goals.
