What do you call that has been removed to the gizzard?

The gizzard is used by birds to grind the food they eat, much as our teeth do. Birds will ingest small stones and sand to do this. The gizzard is a muscular organ and as it contracts it grinds the food eaten with the stones and sand. The food then passes on to the stomach. The material in the gizzard is food that is in the process of being ground and small stones and sand.
