While related, lamb breast is not the same cut as lamb ribs. Lamb ribs come from the side of the animal, whereas lamb breast is from the belly, and includes both the breastplate and some lamb ribs.
How Many Pieces Will I Receive?
Our frozen meats are packaged in vacuum-sealed packages. Most packages contain one piece (ie, one Brisket). Some packages will contain two pieces (ie, Lamb Chops). Packages of smaller items, such as Chicken Wings or Pepper Steak, will contain multiple pieces.
For red meat items and multi-pack poultry items, vacuum-sealed packages may be packed in a cardboard box. If there is an option to choose how many packages youd like in the box, youll make that selection under “Customize Your Order.” Then youll choose your preferred weight (that is, the combined weight of all the the packages in that box.) If only one choice is showing in a green box, you do not need to make any selection.
Lets say youre ordering Lamb Chops and you select the following:
Youve chosen: 2 packages, ~1.1 lb, and the price shows $39.99.
You’ll receive 1 box, with 2 packages of lamb chops inside.
Each package will contain 2 lamb chops. You’ll have 4 lamb chops in total. We always try to pack similar-sized items, but you may find that some chops are slightly larger and some are slightly smaller.
Customize your order Kosher Certification:
Lamb riblets are cut from the breast, which is one of the tastiest and fattiest parts of the animal. The fat is integral to the cut, and you dont need to trim it before cooking. Pieces are about 4″ long and contain 3-4 rib bones.
Braise in liquid, cool, then skim fat; or smoke or slowly roast to allow fat to render for an incredibly tender, succulent treat. Riblets will be meltingly tender after 5+ hours of cooking. This cut can also be smoked.
Products are packed with coolant during their journey to ensure they arrive in great shape. Meats will arrive frozen or refrigerated. Most of our products are shipped frozen; occasionally, due to a very quick turnaround between when the meats arrive at our freezing and distribution facility and when they are delivered to you, meats may be shipped fresh. Meat that is cold to the touch can be refrigerated for immediate use, or frozen for later use. Learn more.

Excellent, Expensive Garnish
Posted by Miriam Kerzner on Dec 24th 2022 The lamb riblets are very fatty. This is wonderful if you want to collect lamb fat, but you do need to recognize the time and method required to properly render the fat. Once rendered, kashering means that the meat is well-salted. Together, the result is a wonderful garnish, not unlike gribenes, though more substantial.

Pretty good
Posted by Rach on Sep 14th 2022 I love lamb, and I even liked that these were fatty because it gave them nice flavor, however the meat itself was almost too salty to eat. I didnt add any salt at all to my recipe, and still it was way too salty to really enjoy. It happened both times I got these riblets, curious if it was just a fluke both times or if theyre always super salty. Note from Grow & Behold: Yes, this is a salty cut. You can soak them for 30 min in cold water ahead of cooking to remove some of the salt. We will update our product description. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Riblets are OK but not the best
Posted by Shoshana on Sep 26th 2021 My family and I love all kinds of lamb cuts, but the riblets were new to us and I was eager to try them. Not what I expected. There was more fat than expected and I would have cooked them differently had I known. Oh well, better luck next time. I know what to do and hopefully they will taste better next time.

Lamb Riblets
Posted by Tziporah H on Apr 6th 2021 Only disappointing purchase from Grow and Behold. So fatty, so little meat. Not worth the expense or effort. Note from Grow & Behold: Well reach out directly, Tziporah! This is a fatty cut, for sure but we want to address this for you.

Awesome Riblets
Posted by Rob R. on Jul 13th 2020 Yes, they are fatty, but that’s what Lamb riblets are…I prepped them with a simple rub of salt, pepper and olive oil then indirect heat on the grill at 325 for 90 minutes. Delicious!

A great snack!!!
Posted by Michael Chasan on May 18th 2020 I love lamb riblets — they are a perfect bite of fatty lamb goodness. The Grow and Behold riblets have amazing flavor and are so easy to make — I have grilled, smoked, and even cooked these in the instant pot. Great covered in BBQ sauce or enjoyed with just a little bit of seasoning.

Lamb ribblets
Posted by Sandra kurland on May 4th 2020 Much fattier than I thought. Probably won’t reorder although the meat was good From Grow and Behold- Sorry you didnt enjoy Sandra! The riblets are a very fatty cut- they are best braised a day before so that you can skim the fat the next day.
