Nutrition
By Nancy Adler
Veal is extra lean meat. It carries less fat than beef. Veal meat contains elements like Selenium. Selenium helps protect the system against free radicals, which provokes cardiovascular diseases and cancers.
Veal contains iron, so the red blood cells may transport oxygen. It also has vitamin B-12 for energy and to help recharge. Vitamin B-12 can affect mood in a very positive way. Veal carries important vitamin D. This is the “sunshine” vitamin and contributes to the proper functioning of muscles and bone health. It also has magnesium, which fights depression, and zinc, which protects against cold and flu. In addition, veal liver also has vitamin A, which prevents diseases such as breast cancer, cataracts and measles.
Veal is known for its high quality, tenderness and intense flavor. Veal is generally easy to digest and low in cholesterol. Great for grilling!
