About Veal, ground, raw
Veal is the meat of young calves, prized for its pale color, fine texture and mild, delicate flavor. It is leaner and more tender than beef from mature cattle, and it has a long history in European cooking — think Italian scaloppine, Austrian schnitzel and French blanquette.
Ground veal sits at about 144 calories per 100 grams raw, offering plenty of high-quality protein along with B12, niacin, zinc and selenium. Because it is so lean and low in connective tissue, it cooks quickly and can toughen if overdone, so it is best handled gently and not cooked past medium.
Veal production has long drawn ethical scrutiny over the rearing of the calves, and many shoppers now look specifically for higher-welfare or pasture-raised veal. In the kitchen it is often combined with pork and beef in the classic three-meat mix for meatballs and meatloaf.
