Manitoba Lamb
Is Nutritious.
Lamb is an excellent source of protein, iron and B
vitamins, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. Because lamb is a
non-marbled meat, it makes fat easy to trim for the
fat-conscious consumer. Lamb is lean - a leg roast contains
less than 185 calories per 90 gram serving. Serving size
depends on appetite, of course. As a general rule, estimate
100-175 grams of boneless lamb or 225-350 grams bone in per
person.
By raising our lambs on pasture they are high in the very
beneficial Omega 3 fatty acids and CLA. Basically, fresh
pasture plants provide animals with more readily available
nutrients, so their products contain more vitamin E, beta
carotene, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega-3 fatty
acids.
