About Peito de peru
Peito de Peru, or turkey breast, is a lean protein source commonly featured in Brazilian cuisine. Typically low in fat and calories, it is packed with essential nutrients such as high-quality protein, vitamins B6 and B12, niacin, and minerals like phosphorous and selenium, which support muscle health, energy metabolism, and immune function. Its versatility makes it a popular choice in grilled, roasted, or deli-style preparations. Turkey breast is considered a healthy option due to its minimal fat content and absence of carbohydrates, but its healthiness can vary depending on preparation. If heavily processed or seasoned with excess sodium in cured or deli forms, it may contribute to higher salt intake. Incorporating fresh, minimally processed peito de peru is ideal for maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet while enjoying its vibrant flavors and adaptability.
