Veal mince is finely chopped meat from young cattle. The figures here describe the meat in its raw form. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 20g of protein and 7g of fat per 100g, including 2.9g of saturated fat. It also provides vitamins and minerals, including 2µg of vitamin B12 per 100g.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Cooking changes the water content, so values for cooked mince may differ from those shown here.
