Lamb, New Zealand, leg, whole, chilled, roasted, lean and fat

This is chilled New Zealand lamb leg, roasted, with both lean meat and fat included. It mainly provides protein and fat, with no carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 28g of protein and 13g of fat, including 5.8g of saturated fat. It also provides 4.3mg of zinc, alongside iron and a range of B vitamins.

Protein helps maintain muscles and other body tissues, while zinc supports normal immune function and wound healing. Lamb also supplies iron, which is needed to make haemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake, particularly because these figures include the fat as well as the lean meat.
