Minced meat is fresh meat minced into small pieces and if desired, mixed with spices. It is used as a base for the preparation of other meat products including meatballs and burgers. It should be bright red, with a soft texture and uniform-sized pieces, free of excessive visible fat. There should be a faint odor of fresh meat. Meat is the most valuable livestock product and for many people serves as their first-choice source of animal protein.
