About Lamb neck

Lamb neck is a flavorful and tender cut derived from the neck of the lamb, often celebrated in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines for its rich taste and slow-cooking potential. This cut is commonly used in stews, braises, and curries, where its high collagen content breaks down, creating a silky, tender texture. Nutritionally, lamb neck provides an excellent source of protein, zinc, and B vitamins, which are essential for energy production and immune support. It also contains iron, contributing to healthy blood circulation. However, lamb neck tends to have higher fat content, particularly saturated fat, which should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. When prepared with plenty of vegetables, herbs, and spices, lamb neck can be a wholesome addition to nutrient-rich meals. Its versatility and depth of flavor make it a standout choice for hearty, satisfying dishes.
