Vlees, the Dutch word for "meat," refers to animal-based protein, commonly including beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. A staple across many global cuisines, vlees is especially central to traditional Dutch dishes like stews, sausages, and roasts. It is rich in protein, essential for muscle growth and repair, and provides crucial nutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. However, its health profile depends largely on preparation and type; lean cuts and unprocessed vlees are healthier choices, while processed or fatty options may contribute to heart disease and other health concerns when consumed in excess. Moderation is key, and pairing vlees with vegetables and whole grains can make for a balanced meal. Sustainable and ethical sourcing has also become a priority, reflecting growing awareness of environmental and animal welfare impacts. Adjusting portion sizes and diversifying protein sources can promote healthier and more sustainable eating habits.
