About Lomo

Lomo is a lean beef tenderloin that originates from Latin America, particularly popular in Peruvian cuisine as part of the iconic dish lomo saltado. This cut is prized for its tenderness and flavor, making it a versatile ingredient in various culinary traditions. Packed with protein, iron, and essential vitamins like B12, lomo supports muscle growth, energy production, and red blood cell formation. Its low fat content makes it one of the healthier beef options, especially when trimmed of excess fat. However, health aspects can vary depending on preparation; frying or pairing it with heavy sauces can increase calorie and fat intake. When grilled, baked, or stir-fried with vegetables, lomo remains a nutritious choice for a balanced meal. Perfect for high-protein diets, it is a flavorful and wholesome option that embodies the rich heritage of Latin American cooking.
