Grass Fed Lamb: Why Buy?
Meat raised on grass, such as grass fed lamb, is showing up more often in grocery stores. It's often expensive, so what makes it worth trying?
Healthy animals - Grass is the natural food of cattle, bison, sheep (and lambs); when allowed to munch on pasture, they're eating the way nature intended.
Healthy Us - Grass fed lamb and other meats (versus standard grain-fed) have higher levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, and are usually lower in fat.
Great for the Land - Grazing animals fertilize the pastures as they roam, as opposed to using man made fertilizers, making grass fed lamb better for the environment and safer for you.
Great Taste - The flavor of grass fed lamb and other meat is often cleaner and more complex than that of grain-fed meat. Our favorite is certified organic grass fed lamb from Idaho's Lava Lake Lamb (208/788-9778), whose animals are raised on thousands of acres near Sun Valley. Lava Lake Lamb offers everything from grass fed lamb chops to petite lamb roasts, just the right size for two to four people. With online ordering, getting grass fed lamb has never been easier.
