Worldly Consumers Drive Popularity of Family-Run Lamb and Veal in the U.S.
Greeley, CO (PRWEB) May 19, 2016 -- The roughly one-third of minorities in the U.S. is driving nearly 60% of total U.S. lamb consumption. Plus, the robust millennial population segment is seeking out lamb as it fulfills their hunger for adventurous, authentic, local and “ethically minded” foods. Both of these factors have contributed to what the most recent Dataessentials Menu Trends research reports: Among all entrée proteins in restaurants, lamb has sustained the greatest growth.
“We’re delighted to see American chefs and trend-setters embracing what has been known by cultures across the globe for centuries--that lamb is a sensory eating experience unlike any other; prized for its pure, fresh, bold-flavored taste and its many healthful attributes,” said Ernie Davis, COO of Mountain States.
According to research from The American Lamb Board, most people prefer the taste and tenderness of U.S. lamb but they just don’t know how to cook it. So, today Mountain States is pleased to announce the launch of http://www.mountainstatesrosen.com/, a brand new website chock-full of helpful shopping, cooking, nutrition and entertaining advice to help both novices and veterans easily whip up the best lamb and veal dishes with the best lamb and veal in the world.
