When shopping for lamb, look for fresh cuts that are bright and pink with a firm texture, avoiding any meat that appears discolored or has a strong odor.

Popular cuts include lamb chops, leg of lamb, and shoulder. Once you have your lamb, various cooking methods can enhance its flavor; grilling, roasting, and braising are all excellent options.

To ensure safety, store lamb in the refrigerator at 40°F or below, and use it within three to five days after purchase. For longer storage, consider freezing the meat in airtight packaging, which can keep it fresh for up to six months. Always remember to thaw frozen lamb safely in the refrigerator or in cold water before cooking to prevent any risk of foodborne illness. By following these shopping tips and cooking methods, you can enjoy delicious and safe lamb dishes.
