About Leg of lamb
Leg of lamb is a tender and flavorful cut of meat sourced from the hindquarters of a sheep. A staple in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines, it’s often roasted, grilled, or braised to bring out its rich, savory taste. Leg of lamb is a nutrient-dense protein, high in 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 lamb. However, lamb is relatively high in saturated fat, so moderation is key when incorporating it into a balanced diet. Ideal for festive gatherings, this cut pairs beautifully with rosemary, garlic, and citrus, making it a versatile option for hearty, wholesome meals.
