When it comes to healthy eating, American lamb is a true nutrition powerhouse.  Protein-packed and nutrient-dense, American lamb is a delicious ingredient for a healthy lifestyle - a whole food for the whole body.

Here’s why American lamb deserves a spot on your plate:

• A 3 oz. serving of American lamb delivers a range of essential nutrients to support your overall health:

• B12: Provides approximately 108% of your Daily Value. This vital vitamin supports protein synthesis, which is crucial for producing immune cells.

• Protein: Contains 46% of your Daily Value, offering the amino acids needed to build immune cells and antibodies.
  

• Zinc: Delivers 41% of your Daily Value, essential for white blood cell function and infection defense.
  

• Selenium: Offers 31% of your Daily Value, with antioxidant properties that protect immune cells from oxidative stress.

• Iron: Provides 10% of your Daily Value, helping lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) grow and mature to fight infections.
  

• B6: Supplies 18% of your Daily Value, supporting the activation of immune-signaling molecules.

A 3 oz. serving of American lamb is naturally nutrient-rich, delivering 23 grams of protein and just 160 calories. It’s also packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, the same “good fat” found in olive oil and avocados.

Looking for lean and versatile cuts? Try lamb leg, loin, or shoulder for meals that are as nutritious as they are flavorful. Whether it’s a hearty stew, a fresh salad, or a gourmet dinner, American lamb transforms every dish into something special.
