Veal meatballs are a flavorful dish often associated with Italian and Mediterranean cuisines. Made primarily from ground veal, they are typically mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, grated cheese, garlic, parsley, and seasonings, then rolled into bite-sized portions and baked, fried, or simmered in sauce. Veal, a lean and tender meat, is high in protein, vitamins like B12, and minerals such as zinc and iron, supporting muscle growth and immune health. However, traditional veal meatballs may include added fat from cheese or cooking oils, and some recipes contain high sodium levels depending on seasonings and sauces used. For a healthier option, baking rather than frying and incorporating whole-grain breadcrumbs or additional vegetables can enhance nutritional value. Veal meatballs are versatile, pairing well with pasta, salads, or as an appetizer, making them a popular comfort food with room for dietary adjustments.
