Bone-in Sheep leg

The Bone-in Sheep Leg offered by Afritibi comes from sheep, an animal deeply ingrained in human culture and agriculture. Sheep have been central to many legends and religions, particularly in Abrahamic traditions where they are often used as sacrificial animals, especially during Eid al-Kebir among Muslims.

Nutritional Value and Culinary Uses:

Mutton, the meat from sheep over 2 years of age, is a delicacy known for its rich taste and is popular in various dishes, whether steamed for couscous or barbecued.
Rich in Nutrients: As a protein-rich red meat, mutton provides an excellent source of vitamins and minerals such as zinc, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B2, and vitamin B12.
Caloric Content: While mutton is calorically dense, it contains stearic acid, which can help lower cholesterol. However, it’s advised to consume mutton in moderation, especially for those looking to manage their weight.

Lamb vs. Mutton:

Lamb refers to young sheep under 300 days old, typically weighing around 30 kilos. Lamb meat is known for being leaner and more tender.
Mutton comes from older sheep, offering a richer flavor but with a higher fat content. The distinction between lamb and mutton is significant in culinary contexts, with each offering different textures and flavors suited to various dishes.
