About Meats

Meat is a versatile food derived from animal sources such as beef, poultry, pork, lamb, and game. It is rich in high-quality protein essential for muscle repair, enzyme production, and overall cell function. Meat contains vital nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, including B12, which supports red blood cell formation and neurological health. Commonly featured in global cuisines, meat serves as a cornerstone in dishes from hearty stews in Europe to spiced kebabs in the Middle East and barbecue traditions in the Americas. While lean cuts are a healthier choice due to lower saturated fat content, some processed or fatty meats can contribute to heart disease and weight gain if consumed excessively. Moderation and balance are key, with many dietary guidelines recommending pairing meat with plant-based foods for a well-rounded and nutrient-rich diet.
