Lamb is a flavorful red meat commonly enjoyed in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines. Known for its tender texture, it is sourced from young sheep, typically under a year old. Packed with high-quality protein, lamb provides essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which support energy production, immune function, and red blood cell formation. Its fat content varies depending on the cut, with lean options such as leg or loin offering a healthier choice. Lamb also contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids, although in smaller amounts compared to fish. On the downside, fattier cuts may be high in saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation for heart health. When prepared thoughtfully, such as through grilling or roasting, lamb can be a nutritious and satisfying addition to a balanced diet.
