Description

Lean ground lamb is a versatile and flavorful ingredient that comes from lamb meat, shredded or finely chopped, with a reduced fat content to offer a healthier option. This meat is primarily obtained from young lambs, which ensures a tender texture and a delicate flavor, ideal for preparing a wide variety of traditional and modern recipes.

Lamb is a food with a long tradition in regions such as the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and some parts of Latin America, where it is used in iconic dishes like kebabs, meatballs, stews, and empanadas. The lean version of ground meat provides a lower amount of saturated fats, being an excellent source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, especially B12, which contribute to the proper functioning of the body.

In different Hispanic American countries, lean ground lamb may also be known as picadillo de cordero, carne picada de cordero, or simply cordero molido. Its use in the kitchen is ideal for those seeking nutritious and tasty recipes without sacrificing the juiciness and characteristic flavor of lamb.
