About Veal
Veal is the tender meat of young cattle, typically less than six months old. Originating from European culinary traditions, it is prized for its delicate flavor and soft texture, making it a staple in classic dishes like Italian osso buco and French blanquette de veau. Veal is a high-quality protein source rich in essential nutrients, including zinc, B-vitamins, and iron, which support energy production and immune function. It is relatively low in fat compared to other red meats, though preparation methods can influence its nutritional profile, with fried or creamy-based recipes adding extra calories and saturated fats. While veal offers nutritional benefits, ethical considerations surrounding production practices may vary globally. For health-conscious consumers, opting for lean cuts and moderate portions, paired with vegetables or whole grains, can enhance its place within a balanced diet.
