Nourishment for your body: Lamb is a staple meat in Mediterranean cuisine. Grass fed, organic Lamb is healthier, more hygienic, and nourishing then mass produced and processed red meat such as beef. Lamb has better quality protein because beef loses its protein value due to processing. Lamb has an impressive amount of B vitamins. Lambs also need to be grass fed and they have a significant amount of omega 3 to omega 6 ratio which is great for heart health. Although lamb is higher in calories then your average beef, you are getting a better quality protein.
Tips when cooking: Lamb pairs well with a variety of side dishes and sauces. I usually drizzle pomegranate molasses on it and pair it with a side dish of couscous.
