Easy Roast Lamb Recipe

The benefits of eating lamb

Lamb is a kind of red meat that comes from young sheep. Not only is it a rich source of protein, it is also an outstanding source of vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, selenium, niacin, phosphorus, and vitamin B12. Because of this, regular consumption of lamb may promote muscle growth, maintenance, and performance.

Almost 40% of the fats in lamb come from oleic acid. This is the monounsaturated fat best known in the Mediterranean diet which is good for reducing the risk of heart disease. Lamb is also one of the best known sources of creatine, taurine, glutathione, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
