Grass-fed lamb: Why buy?

Ingredients you will need

Lamb

Meat raised on grass is showing up more often in grocery stores. It's often expensive, so what makes it worth trying?

Ingredients you will need

Meat

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.

Ingredients you will need

Bison

Healthy us. Grass-fed (versus standard grain-fed) meat has higher levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, and is usually lower in fat.

Ingredients you will need

Beta Carotene

Grains

Meat

Great for the land. Grazing animals fertilize the pastures as they roam.

Great taste. The flavor is often cleaner and more complex than that of grain-fed meat.

Ingredients you will need

Meat

Our favorite is certified organic meat from Idaho's Lava Lake Lamb (lavalakelamb.com or 208/788-9778), whose animals are raised on thousands of acres near Sun Valley. Lava Lake offers everything from chops to petite lamb roasts, just the right size for two to four people.
