Fresh meats refer to unprocessed meats that have not undergone any preservation method such as smoking, salting or curing. These include beef, pork, lamb, chicken, turkey and other game meats. Fresh meats are highly nutritious, rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids. They can be prepared in various ways, including grilling, baking, roasting, frying and boiling.

Consuming fresh meats has been linked to various health benefits, including increased muscle mass, improved bone health, and better immune function. However, it is important to handle and cook fresh meats properly to prevent foodborne illnesses caused by harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria. It is recommended to store fresh meats in the refrigerator at temperatures below 40°F and cook them to a minimum internal temperature to ensure they are safe to eat.
