Veal Nutrition
Veal is a nutritional powersource. Recent USDA data reveals that a 3 oz. serving of cooked, trimmed veal provides less than 10% of the calories and total fat recommended for a 2,000 calorie diet. At the same time, veal delivers more than 10% of the daily values for protein, zinc, niacin, as well as vitamin B-12 and B-6. Protein and B-vitamins help us increase our energy levels. Zinc maintains immune function and plays a key role in growth and cognitive development.
