Choosing to buy American Lamb is choosing to support farmers and ranchers across the United States.
That's really important, but it's not the only reason to put American Lamb on your grocery list this week. Here are three more:
1. American Lamb is Local
Sheep are raised in nearly every state, meaning fresh, local lamb is available wherever you live. However, more than 50% of the lamb consumed in the United States is from Australia and New Zealand. Choosing American lamb guarantees a fresh and high quality product.
2. American Lamb is Flavorful
The mild, exceptional flavor of lamb is due to three factors: natural pasture, optimal genetics and an exceptional diet.
3. American Lamb is Nutritious
American lamb is an adventurous protein choice offering 22.5 grams of protein in a 3-oz. serving. Plus, lean cuts of lamb such as, leg, loin, and shoulder are only 160 calories per serving.
When you plan your recipes this week (see below for three great options!) put American Lamb on your shopping list. Not sure where to buy American Lamb? Start here.
