Lamb Sweetbreads

Lamb Sweetbreads

Sweetbreads are an excellent nutritional choice.

Just like other types of offal, sweetbreads are jam-packed with rare nutrients that are hard to get from muscle meat or other non-animal sources.

The nose-to-tail way of eating favored by our ancestors put a priority on sweetbreads. Modern nutritional analysis has recently confirmed that sweetbreads are rich in a wide variety of high-priority nutrients:

• Vitamin C
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin K
• Minerals
• Omega 3 fats ^[2]

Of all the nutritional benefits of sweetbreads, their vitamin C content probably stands out the most. Very few other animal products are this rich in vitamin C. Sweetbreads are also an unusually good source of potassium, which plays a vital role in regulating blood pressure and enabling muscle contraction. ^[4]
