Sweetbreads, Raw

EverydayRaw

Sweetbreads are organ meats (offal) specifically referring to either the thymus glands of young animals (throat sweetbreads) or pancreas (heart sweetbreads), most commonly from veal or lamb. Despite their name, they are neither sweet nor bread, but rather delicate organ meats prized for their mild, creamy flavor when cooked. Raw sweetbreads are rich in protein, vitamins B12 and C, iron, and zinc, though they require careful handling and thorough cooking for food safety.
