So, what is meats?

Meat is a protein-rich ingredient that comes from the muscle tissues of animals, such as beef, pork, poultry, and lamb. It's a staple in many cuisines worldwide, providing an excellent source of nutrition and flavor to dishes. Meats can be cooked in various ways, including grilling, roasting, baking, frying, or slow-cooking, resulting in different textures and tastes. From tender cuts like filet mignon to tougher ones like brisket, meats offer versatility in cooking and pairing with other ingredients. While it's a controversial food ingredient due to animal welfare, environmental, and health concerns, ethical sourcing and mindful consumption can help balance these issues.
