PROS

Creamed sweetbreads are a delicacy with tender and velvet-like texture when cooked perfectly.

The sauce is creamy, rich, and mild, complementing the meaty flavor of sweetbreads.

CONS

Sweetbread contains high levels of purine, which produces uric acid, so those with gout should avoid it.

Furthermore, the gland’s affinity to store antibiotics, hormones, and other chemicals used in feeding or processing means sourcing quality sweetbreads is critical.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Sweetbreads are an exceptional source of protein and low in fat, making them nutritious for anyone looking for a healthy diet.
They are high in minerals like iron, copper, and selenium, which enhances your immune system and supports your metabolic rate.
