About Raw lamb slices

Raw lamb slices are thinly cut portions of lamb meat, primarily sourced from sheep that are raised globally, with notable production in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East. Lamb plays a significant role in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines. It is a rich source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and B-vitamins, particularly B12. Lamb is relatively high in fat, especially saturated fat, which contributes to its tender texture and robust flavor. Despite its fat content, lamb is a nutrient-dense meat when consumed in moderation.
