💎 Key Nutrients
How much cholesterol is in 100 g of lamb brain?
The USDA entry for raw lamb brain lists 1,352 mg cholesterol per 100 g. This is the exact food and weight basis behind the figure. 'Sheep brain' can refer to animals of different ages; do not assume a different product or a cooked preparation has this identical value.
Other nutrients in the same 100 g record
The raw entry contains 122 calories, 10.4 g protein, 8.58 g fat, 2.19 g saturated fat, and 0 g carbohydrate per 100 g. It also lists 11.3 mcg vitamin B12 and 112 mg sodium. These figures characterize the food, not its effect on an individual's blood cholesterol.
Serving and preparation context
USDA also records ounce-based portions, including about 28.35 g for 1 oz; the cholesterol amount would scale with weight. Cooking changes moisture and the per-100 g concentration. For a specific prepared product, use its own nutrient record or label; follow applicable food-safety guidance for preparation.
