About Lamb shank
Lamb shank is a flavorful cut of meat taken from the lower part of a lamb’s leg. It is popular in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines, often slow-cooked to tender perfection in stews or braised dishes. Rich in protein, lamb shank offers essential nutrients like zinc, iron, and B vitamins, which support immune health, energy production, and red blood cell formation. While high in protein, it also contains higher levels of saturated fat compared to leaner cuts, which may need moderation for heart health. Cooking methods such as braising with vegetables and herbs can boost its nutritional profile, adding fiber and antioxidants from the accompanying ingredients. Lamb shank is a versatile dish, celebrated for its robust flavor and melt-in-the-mouth texture, making it ideal for hearty, comforting meals.
