About Sheep lung
Sheep lung, a traditional delicacy in various cuisines, especially prominent in Middle Eastern, Scottish, and Central Asian dishes, is valued for its unique texture and flavor. It is often featured in stews, soups, and iconic recipes like Haggis, where it serves as a core ingredient. Nutritionally, sheep lung is a good source of protein and essential vitamins, such as B12 and riboflavin, which support energy production and healthy blood cells. It also provides minerals like iron and selenium. However, it contains high levels of cholesterol and may be less ideal for those monitoring cardiovascular health. Due to its low fat content compared to other organ meats, it is often seen as a leaner option, but should still be consumed in moderation within a balanced diet. Sheep lung is an example of nose-to-tail eating, celebrating resourceful cooking while providing distinct nutrients and flavors.
