Density 46 · -26 vs Lamb, veal & game medianRaw ground veal scores 46 of 100, a Fair rating, and ranks 51st of 60 in the Lamb, veal & game category, trailing the median of 72. Its main strength is an excellent 37% DV of protein per its calorie count, without any other nutrient reaching a standout share.
Ground veal is typically formed into meatballs, mixed into meatloaf, or browned for a light Bolognese-style sauce, with a 3 oz (85 g) portion as a standard serving before cooking. It is high in saturated fat at 5.1 g per 100 g in its raw state, so leaner cuts are worth comparing; veal loin, separable lean and fat, raw, scores higher within the same category.
