Small meatballs are a versatile and flavorful dish found across many cuisines, including Italian, Swedish, Middle Eastern, and Asian. Typically made from ground beef, pork, chicken, or a combination, they are mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, garlic, and seasonings like parsley, oregano, or spices, depending on regional style. These bite-sized morsels can be baked, fried, or simmered, often served with sauces, pastas, or rice. Nutritionally, small meatballs provide a good source of protein, iron, and essential vitamins like B12, but they can be high in sodium and saturated fat, especially depending on added ingredients or cooking methods. Healthier versions can be made by using lean meats, whole-grain breadcrumbs, and baked preparation instead of frying. Packed with flavor and adaptability, small meatballs are an excellent option for appetizers, snacks, or main dishes in balanced meals.
