Lamb, stewing, stewed, lean and fat

Stewed lamb is cooked sheep meat; the figures here describe stewing lamb with both lean meat and fat included. It mainly provides protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 24g of protein and 20g of fat, including 9.2g of saturated fat, and provides 1159 kJ of energy. It also supplies zinc, iron and vitamin B12.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while iron and vitamin B12 contribute to normal red blood cell formation. The saturated fat and energy content are worth noting for people monitoring these in their diet. Salt added during cooking, or included in stock and sauces, can change the salt content of the finished dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
