Sweetbreads

Sweetbreads are the thymus or pancreas glands of young mammals (commonly veal or lamb) and are prized in many European and Latin American cuisines for their tender, delicate texture and rich flavor. They are often soaked, poached, and pan-seared or fried to develop a crisp exterior while keeping the interior soft. Nutritionally, Sweetbreads are a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 22.5g of protein per 100g, and are particularly rich in B vitamins and trace minerals such as vitamin B12, riboflavin and selenium. They are relatively low in carbohydrates and provide modest fat with a moderate saturated fat content. As an organ meat, Sweetbreads are very nutrient-dense and supply high-quality amino acids and important micronutrients, making them a valuable occasional addition to a varied diet. They contain virtually no fiber, so pair them with vegetables or whole grains to round out a meal.Read more
