Veal, escalope, raw

Veal escalope is a thin cut of meat from a young calf. The figures here describe the meat raw, before cooking or adding other ingredients. It mainly provides protein, with 23g per 100g, alongside 1.7g of fat, including 0.6g of saturated fat. It also provides B vitamins and minerals, including 2.4mg of zinc per 100g.

Protein contributes to the growth and repair of body tissues, while zinc supports normal immune function.
