Cooked lamb is a flavorful and nutrient-rich meat derived from sheep, commonly featured in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines. It is often roasted, grilled, or braised, and pairs well with herbs like rosemary and mint. Lamb is an excellent source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients, including iron, zinc, and B vitamins such as B12, which support energy production and red blood cell formation. It also contains healthy fats like omega-3s, particularly in grass-fed varieties. However, lamb can be high in saturated fat, so moderation is key for heart health. Lean cuts, such as leg or loin, are ideal for those looking to manage calorie and fat intake while enjoying its rich taste. Lamb is versatile and works well in dishes ranging from hearty stews and kebabs to elegant roasted entrees, making it a popular choice for both everyday meals and special occasions.
