If you’re looking for a roast that makes an elegant presentation and is also great to eat, this is your answer. Grilled or roasted medium rare, it’s hard to find anything that has as much flavor along with sophistication. Lamb racks are individually packaged & flash frozen to lock in freshness and flavor.

Swanson Natural imports our lamb racks from New Zealand. All lambs are raised outdoors with healthy diets of natural grasses, crops and grains. The taste of our lamb can be described as mild, yet delicious and flavorful. Naturally raised lamb is perfect for a delicious meal on any occasion. Lamb Racks very in size, our racks are 26-28 oz.
