Grass-fed beef isn’t the choice most Americans are used to. It’s not even the choice most Texans are used to. Most of us have been raised on grain-fed beef all our lives.
So is grass-fed beef really worth the shift? Does it make sense to buy farm fresh beef that’s been pasture-raised?
Here at Blessings Ranch, we feel confident you’ll love the difference once you see it for yourself.
Better for Your Waistline
Grass-fed beef is just as tasty and filling as grain-fed beef, but it contains fewer calories. That means you can promote your weight loss goals without making any change to what you eat or when you eat it.
Of course, you’ll see more dramatic results when you combine grass-fed beef with other methods. But making the switch is an excellent way to enjoy better health without ever having to feel deprived.
Better for Your Heart
Grass-fed beef has:
- More omega-3s
- More monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs)
- More vitamins that promote heart health
If you choose lean cuts of beef with less fat you’ll enjoy even greater benefits. Grass-fed beef is the perfect choice for anyone with a family history of heart disease. And if you’re trying to lower your cholesterol, the high MUFA content will prove to be a boon.
Better for Your Conscience
There’s no reason why cows should have to live a miserable life in a feedlot. Yes, we plan to eat them, but their deaths should be painless when the time comes, and their lives should be happy ones.
Leaving them sick, miserable, and tortured is good for some people’s profits, but it’s bad for the soul.
Don’t you feel better knowing the cows that feed you got to enjoy their time on earth?
Yes, but does it taste better?
Grass-fed beef does taste a little different than the beef you’re used to. You may need to tenderize it a little more or coat it with a light oil to be fully happy with the taste, or you may enjoy the slightly more substantial flavor that it brings to the table.
