Ground Lamb, Raw

Ground Lamb, Raw

EverydayRaw

Ground lamb is a minced meat product made from the finely chopped muscle and fat of young sheep. Characterized by its rich, slightly gamey flavor and higher fat content compared to ground beef, it provides substantial amounts of iron, zinc, and high-quality protein. The meat's natural marbling keeps dishes moist during cooking, making it particularly suitable for Mediterranean-inspired recipes like kebabs, spiced meatballs, and savory pies. Raw ground lamb typically contains 20-25% fat content depending on the cuts used in preparation.
