Meat is a food of animal origin, essentially divided into white and red by type, and is part of the human diet due to its richness in proteins, some mineral salts, lipids and, to a lesser extent, also some carbohydrates. Meat can be prepared according to the seasons and traditions by grilling, boiling, cooking in the oven or in a pan, each of which is characterized by the ability to give a different consistency and a certain exaltation of flavours.
