About Ground lamb

Ground lamb is a flavorful and versatile meat commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines. Made from finely minced lamb, it offers a rich, gamey taste that enhances dishes like kebabs, burgers, meatballs, and stews. Packed with protein, B vitamins, zinc, and selenium, ground lamb supports muscle growth, energy production, and immune function. It’s also a natural source of iron, which is essential for blood health. Lamb contains healthy fats, including omega-3s, beneficial for heart and brain health, but it is also relatively high in saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation. Opting for leaner ground lamb or balancing it with vegetables can make meals more nutritious. Typically sourced from sheep raised on pasture, lamb is valued for its quality and unique flavor profile, providing a hearty option for both traditional and modern dishes.
