About Homemade meatballs
Homemade meatballs are a classic dish originating from Italian cuisine, though variations exist worldwide. Made with a blend of ground beef, pork, or turkey, mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, and fresh herbs like parsley, they’re seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes Parmesan cheese. These versatile meatballs are typically simmered in tomato sauce, enhancing their rich flavor. High in protein, they provide essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, supporting muscle growth and energy production. However, their nutritional value depends on preparation choices—leaner meats and whole-grain breadcrumbs can reduce fat and boost fiber, while frying may increase calorie content. Pairing meatballs with vegetable-based sides or whole-grain pasta can create a more balanced meal. Whether served over spaghetti, in a sub, or on their own, homemade meatballs bring comfort and tradition to the table.
