Large Meatballs are a hearty and flavorful dish, often associated with Italian cuisine but enjoyed in various forms worldwide. Typically made from ground beef, pork, or a combination of the two, they may also include breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and a blend of herbs like parsley and oregano. These ingredients are mixed, shaped into sizable spheres, and often baked or fried before being simmered in a rich tomato sauce. While they offer a good source of protein, iron, and B vitamins, the calorie and fat content can vary depending on the meat used and the cooking method. Choosing leaner meats and baking instead of frying can make them a healthier option. For a balanced meal, pair them with whole-grain pasta or vegetables. Moderation is key, as their rich ingredients can contribute to higher calorie and sodium intake.
