Description
Boneless lean lamb is meat obtained from young lamb, specifically from boneless cuts that contain little fat, making it a healthy and versatile option for various culinary preparations. This meat stands out for its tender texture and mild flavor, with that characteristic lamb aroma that enhances stews, roasts, and braises.
Lamb comes mainly from regions with a livestock tradition, such as some countries in the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Australia, and Latin America. It is usually pasture-raised, which influences the quality and final flavor of the meat.
Among its properties, lean lamb is an excellent source of high-quality protein, B-complex vitamins, especially B12, and minerals such as zinc and iron, essential for maintaining good health. Being lean, it has a lower content of saturated fat, making it a lighter option for those watching their diet.
In different Hispanic American countries, boneless lean lamb may have different names. Some common synonyms are boned lamb shoulder or simply boned lamb. In some places, although not exact, this ingredient may also be referred to as boneless lamb leg, depending on the specific cut.
