About Meatball
Meatballs are versatile, flavorful protein-rich dishes made from ground meat, typically beef, pork, chicken, or a combination, mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings like garlic, onion, herbs, and spices. Originating from various cuisines worldwide, they are most famously linked to Italian and Swedish traditions but are enjoyed across cultures in diverse forms. In Italian cuisine, meatballs are commonly simmered in marinara sauce, while Swedish versions are paired with creamy gravy and lingonberry jam. Nutritionally, meatballs can be a good source of protein, iron, and B vitamins, depending on the ingredients used. However, they may be high in saturated fat and sodium, especially if made with fatty cuts of meat or heavily salted seasonings. Opting for lean meats, whole-grain breadcrumbs, and baking instead of frying can improve their health profile, making them a delicious option in a balanced diet.
