What are the best ingredients for making kebabs?

Using high-quality ingredients is essential for delicious kebabs. Here’s what to consider:

• Meat: Choose fresh cuts like lamb, beef, or chicken. Grass-fed or organic options are often recommended for better flavor and health benefits.
• Vegetables: Use seasonal vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini. Freshness enhances taste and texture.
• Spices and Marinades: Opt for whole spices and fresh herbs. Ground spices lose potency over time, so fresh is best.
• Skewers: Use stainless steel for durability or soaked bamboo skewers to prevent burning.

According to a report by the USDA, fresh ingredients not only improve flavor but also nutritional value, making meals healthier.
