About Souvlaki meat
Souvlaki meat is a popular staple of Greek cuisine, traditionally made from marinated cuts of pork, chicken, or lamb, though beef is sometimes used. The meat is typically threaded onto skewers and grilled, resulting in a smoky, tender, and flavorful dish. The marinade often includes olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and other Mediterranean herbs, giving the meat its vibrant taste and aroma. Souvlaki is a good source of protein and provides essential nutrients like iron and zinc while being relatively low in carbohydrates. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation methods and portion size. It is healthiest when paired with fresh vegetables and whole grains or served with alternatives like a yogurt-based tzatziki sauce rather than heavier dips. Grilling minimizes added fats, making it leaner than fried options, though excessive amounts of sodium from marinades may require moderation for certain diets.
