| NEW ZEALAND LAMB
New Zealand lamb is reared naturally all year round
on lush green pastures. Like Australian lamb, it,
too, is rich in nutrients, so just a small portion
contains a high concentration of vitamins and minerals,
which are essential for maintaining good health.
For instance, lamb from New Zealand is high in protein,
B vitamins, zinc and iron, all of which are necessary
for a healthy, balanced diet. At the same time, it
also
is relatively low in calories, fat and cholesterol.
In fact, lamb can be included in a diet designed to
lower blood cholesterol.
A four ounce serving of New Zealand Lamb provides:
- At least 25 percent of protein (Recommended
Daily Allowance)
- All essential amino acids
- About 0.2 ounces saturated fat and 0.14
ounces of polyunsaturated fat
- About 50 mg of cholesterol
- About 220 Kcal of energy
- A rich source of B vitamins, especially B12 and
niacin
- A good source of iron and zinc
