About Kafta meat

Kafta meat is a flavorful Middle Eastern dish made from ground beef or lamb, blended with finely chopped parsley, onions, and a mix of warm spices like cinnamon, allspice, and paprika. Originating from Levantine cuisine, it is typically formed into patties, skewers, or logs and grilled, baked, or pan-seared. Kafta is rich in protein, iron, and essential vitamins from the fresh herbs, but its nutritional content varies based on preparation methods. Opting for lean meats can make it a heart-healthier choice, while grilling instead of frying reduces unhealthy fat content. Spices used in Kafta also offer anti-inflammatory benefits. However, sodium levels may increase if heavily seasoned or served with salty sides. Paired with fresh salads or roasted vegetables, Kafta meat can be part of a balanced and nutritious meal that celebrates its cultural roots and hearty flavors.
