About Frango

Frango, Portuguese for "chicken," is a versatile and globally popular protein often celebrated in Mediterranean and Brazilian cuisines. Typically prepared roasted, grilled, or stewed, frango pairs well with diverse seasonings like garlic, paprika, lemon, and herbs, enhancing its flavor profile. Lean and rich in high-quality protein, chicken is a great source of essential amino acids, promoting muscle growth and overall health. It also provides key nutrients like B vitamins, selenium, and phosphorus, supporting energy metabolism and bone health. However, its nutritional profile can vary significantly depending on preparation methods—fried or breaded frango may add excess saturated fats and calories, while skinless, grilled versions are considerably lighter and heart-friendly. Often served alongside rice, beans, or vegetables, frango stands out as both a satisfying and nourishing option in a balanced diet.
