Poultry is a class of birds that are consumed as food. The most commonly consumed types of poultry are chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys. Poultry is rich in protein and other nutrients and can be a valuable addition to a balanced diet.
Poultry is prepared in a variety of ways, such as roasted, grilled, boiled, or baked. There are also many poultry dishes that are widely used in international cuisine, such as chicken curry, duck Peking and roast goose.
In recent years, many people's attitudes toward eating poultry have changed. Some people are giving up poultry for ethical reasons, while others are reducing their poultry consumption to improve their health or reduce their environmental footprint. There are also an increasing number of plant-based alternatives to poultry that can be a good source of protein and other nutrients for people who want or need to avoid poultry.
