About Greek meatballs

Greek Meatballs, or "keftedes," are a flavorful dish rooted in traditional Greek cuisine. Made with ground lamb or beef, these meatballs are enriched with fresh herbs like parsley, mint, and oregano, giving them their distinct Mediterranean taste. Garlic, onion, and breadcrumbs are added for texture, while a touch of olive oil enhances their richness. Often served with tzatziki sauce or atop a fresh salad, they capture the essence of Greek culinary tradition. Rich in protein and iron from the meat, they are a hearty option for maintaining energy. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, while herbs add antioxidants. However, they can be higher in calories and saturated fat, especially if fried or paired with heavy sauces. Opting for baking or grilling can make them a lighter choice without compromising flavor. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or main course, Greek Meatballs are a deliciously balanced option for any meal.
