Lamb Nutrition
Superior Farms USDA & Halal certified Lamb is a prime source of high quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. Lamb is high in B vitamins, niacin, zinc, and iron. Its protein is nutritionally complete, with all 8 amino acids in the proper ratio. A 3-ounce serving provides 43% of an adult male's Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein.
Compared to other meats, lamb contains very little marbling (internal fat throughout the meat) and lamb’s external fat is easily trimmed. That means fewer and leaner calories - only 176 in an average 3-ounce serving. See below for nutritional charts on most cuts of lamb!
