Apart from its unique taste, mutton also has a range of health benefits to offer.
Builds muscles
Meat is one of the best dietary sources of high-quality protein.

High-quality protein is very important for the maintenance of muscle mass, especially in elderly people.
Prevention of anaemia
Anaemia is a anaemia condition, characterised by low amounts of red blood cells and decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, the main symptoms of which are fatigue and weakness.
Iron deficiency is a major cause of anaemia, but can be easily avoided with proper dietary strategies such as adding lamb to your meals.
Improved physical performance
Not only can lamb help preserve muscle mass, it is also important for muscle function.
