🐔 Desi Chicken Meat – Free range farm -raised, Native Breed

📍 Available in:
– Bengaluru (ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು) – Karnataka

Desi chicken, also known as native country chicken, is a premium, slow-grown poultry breed raised in free-range conditions across rural India. Unlike commercial broilers, desi chickens develop naturally over 4–6 months, resulting in leaner meat, firmer texture, and intensely rich flavor prized in traditional recipes.

This listing features fresh-cut desi chicken meat, sourced from ethically raised birds in Karnataka and Maharashtra, processed under hygienic conditions, and delivered chilled for optimal freshness.

🧬 Breed & Anatomy
– Breed Type: Indigenous Indian breeds (e.g., Giriraja, Aseel, Nati Koli)
– Growth Cycle: 120–180 days (vs. 35–45 days for broilers)
– Meat Texture: Firm, fibrous, and slightly chewy—ideal for slow cooking
– Fat Content: Lower than broilers; natural marbling from free-range diet
– Color: Slightly darker meat with deeper bone marrow pigmentation
