About Lean kabab

Lean kabab is a skewered meat dish commonly originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, often prepared with ground or cubed meat such as beef, chicken, or lamb. It is made using lean cuts, which minimize fat content while maintaining flavor, texture, and protein density. Packed with protein, lean kababs are an excellent source of essential amino acids, supporting muscle repair and maintenance. They also contain vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, depending on the protein source. Typically grilled or baked, these kababs are also low in carbohydrates, making them suitable for high-protein, low-carb diets.
