Lamb is an excellent source of vitamin B12, which plays a role in DNA production and nervous system health as well as in the production of red blood cells. It also provides iron for good oxygen transport.
The beans provide some fantastic fibre and are extremely high in molybdenum, which is a trace mineral that detoxifies sulphites. Sulphites can be found in some processed foods such as dried fruit (always go for sulphite-free!) They are also a good source of iron, so this is a very iron-rich meal. Better than supplements!
