Density 67 · -5 vs Lamb, veal & game medianRaw lean veal rib scores 67 of 100 for nutrient density, a Good band result, but it ranks only 35th of 60 in Lamb, veal & game, trailing the category median of 72. Protein is the sole standout here at 40% DV, in the excellent tier.
Veal rib is the cut behind delicate chops and scaloppine, usually pounded thin and quickly pan-seared or grilled since the lean meat toughens fast under prolonged heat; a one-ounce (28 g) raw portion scales up to a typical chop weight. It's fairly low in fat at 3.89 g per 100 g, but the score sits below the median for its category, and veal shank or leg round rank higher among veal and game options.
