About Lamb
The leanest lamb cut, with protein higher than lean pork.
Health Benefits of Lamb
High protein, low fat
100g of lean lamb has 20.5g protein, only 3.9g fat and 118 kcal - protein comparable to lean beef (20.2g) with even less fat. Among the lowest-fat red meats, it is a good lean-protein choice.
Rich in carnitine and zinc
Lamb ranks among the top common meats for L-carnitine, which aids fatty-acid transport and energy metabolism - valuable for athletes and high-metabolism individuals. Lamb is also rich in highly absorbable heme iron and zinc for immunity and blood-cell production.
Stewing preserves nutrients
Lean lamb's fine fibers suit hotpot, clear stewing and quick stir-fries. For stewed lamb: cut into chunks, blanch to remove scum, then simmer in cold water with white radish, ginger and a little Sichuan pepper over low heat 1-1.5h until tender; season only with salt to showcase the original flavour.
