Sweetbreads are the thymus glands from young calves, prized for their delicate, creamy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. They are nutrient-dense organ meats—good sources of high-quality protein, vitamin B12, zinc, and other B vitamins—commonly sautéed, pan-fried, or used in classic sauces and fine-dining preparations.
