Rack of Lamb Ribs Nutrition (Per 100 g cooked)

A rack of lamb ribs cooked over a Charkii braai is rich in protein, healthy fats, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. Because lamb ribs contain more marbling and fat than leaner cuts, they are higher in calories but deliver excellent flavour and tenderness when flame grilled.
