Lamb, stewing, stewed, lean

Stewed lean lamb is lamb meat cooked slowly in liquid, with the lean portion described here. Its main nutrients are protein and fat. Per 100g, it provides 27g of protein and 15g of fat, including 6.5g of saturated fat. It also contains zinc, at 6.1mg per 100g, alongside iron and several B vitamins.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while zinc contributes to normal immune function. Lamb also supplies vitamin B12, which is needed for normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. Although this entry describes lean meat, its saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
