    Cook’s tip When enjoyed as part of a healthy balanced diet, there are more benefits to eating lamb than just the taste. Lamb is naturally high in protein and essential nutrients such as vitamin B12 and niacin, both of which support normal brain function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
