About Lamb, shoulder, whole (arm and blade), separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, choice, raw
Raw lamb shoulder, covering both the arm and blade subprimal with fat included, sits in a similar macronutrient range as other raw lamb composites: fat and protein are close, no carbs. The shoulder is tougher than the leg or loin due to more active musculature and connective tissue, which means it rewards low-and-slow cooking over dry-heat methods. Well suited for braising, slow roasting, or being ground. Good flavor with a slightly stronger lamb character than the leg.
