Lamb is more available in grocery stores today than it has been in years. In fact, you may have seen some surprising cuts packaged - such as chops, ground lamb, kabob pieces, or ribs - alongside the more traditional lamb shanks or a whole leg of lamb.
Healthful food: Lamb is a valuable member of the meat group, for it is not only a source of good nutrition, it also adds interest and appetite appeal to mealtime.
The protein in lamb and all red meats is vital to good health for it is complete; that is, it contains all the essential amino acids in the proper proportions to build, maintain and repair body tissue.
The B-vitamins found in lamb - thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B-6 and B-12 - help the body make better use of other nutrients in food. They also help the body use energy and promote good vision, normal appetite and healthy skin and nervous system.
While lamb is high in these many necessary nutrients, it is relatively low in calories. A three-ounce serving of cooked, lean lamb contains just 221 calories, yet provides 40 percent of the protein requirement, 17 percent of the iron requirement and 31 percent of the required zinc for an adult male.
