Lamb, shoulder joint, roasted, lean

Lamb shoulder is a cut of red meat; the figures here describe the lean meat from a roasted shoulder joint. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 28g of protein and 14g of fat per 100g, including 6.2g of saturated fat. It also supplies vitamins and minerals, including 3µg of vitamin B12 per 100g.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while vitamin B12 helps maintain normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. Although these figures are for lean meat, it still contains saturated fat, which is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Added salt, gravy or other accompaniments can change the nutritional content of a meal. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
