Meat is an excellent source of several vitamins and minerals<\/strong>, essential micronutrients present in biochemical forms that make them easily assimilated. A 100 grams of red meat<\/strong> will provide around 25%<\/strong> of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 and pathogenic acid, and two-thirds for vitamin B12<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The chicken breast <\/strong>is a particularly good source of niacin (100 g will provide 56% of RDA) and vitamin B6 (27%), while 100 g of turkey<\/strong> breast<\/strong> provides 31% of niacin and 29% of vitamin B6. Meat is also one of the best sources of zinc, selenium, phosphorus and iron: the lean cuts from cattle <\/strong>provide around 37% of the reference selenium intake, 26% zinc and 20% of potassium in a portion of 100 g.<\/p>\n

Lean red meat <\/strong>contains a number of vitamins and minerals that are important for all the stages of life. For some of these nutrients<\/strong>, meat could be defined as \u201csource of\u201d or \u201crich in\u201d, using the European Union\u2019s assessment<\/a>, which is based on the recommended daily allowances<\/strong> (RDA). Food can be defined as a \u201csource of\u201d if they contain \u226515% of RDA per 100g for a particular vitamin or mineral<\/strong>, or as \u201crich in\u201d if they contain \u226530% of the RDA.<\/p>\n

Below you can see \u2013 through the content of red meat micronutrients<\/strong>, classified as a source of rich in (REGULATION CEN. 1924\/2006) on nutrition and health claims made on foods \u2013 which nutritional indications<\/strong> a slice of red meat <\/strong>of a 100 grams could bring.<\/p>\n
