Lamb and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Lamb is meat sourced from young sheep, typically less than a year old. It is considered a delicacy in many cultures and cuisines, known for its tender texture and rich flavor. High in protein, iron, and vitamin B12, lamb is a nutritious option for those who consume meat. However, due to its mammalian origin, it contains alpha-gal, a carbohydrate that can cause allergic reactions in some people.
