Lamb refers to the meat of a sheep that is younger than one year old. The meat of older sheep is called mutton. Lamb is a popular food in many parts of the world, and is known for its distinctive, slightly gamey flavor and tender texture.

Lamb is a nutrient-dense food, and is an excellent source of protein, vitamin B12, niacin, zinc, and selenium. It is also a good source of riboflavin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, phosphorus, and cholesterol.

Lamb is often cooked using various methods such as grilling, roasting, or stewing. Some popular lamb dishes include:

When cooking lamb, it's important to keep in mind that it can become tough if it's overcooked, so it's best to cook it to medium-rare or medium doneness. It's also a good idea to let the lamb rest for a few minutes before serving, to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

When purchasing lamb, look for cuts that are bright red in color and have a fresh, mild aroma. Avoid lamb that has a strong odor or a brown or grayish color.
