What’s all the hub bub with Grass-fed beef?!?
For years, we have let the beef industry feed us an inferior protein from grain-fed cows because it is cheaper and easier to process. What they do not tell you is how much you are missing out on when you choose grain-fed over grass-fed.
Let’s just look at a couple of comparisons between the two:
The calorie count: If you are on a calorie restricting diet, you will be glad to know that grass-fed beef has less calories than a grain-fed beef. Example, for a 6oz steak, the grass-fed and 100 fewer calories than that of a grain-fed steak.
Fats, good and bad: Grass-fed beef is on the same line of healthy eating as skinless chicken. Grass-fed has half to one-third less fat than that of grain-fed. In fact, it has about the same amount of fat as a skinless chicken. Being that it is a more lean meat, it helps lower your LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol).
Omega 3’s in beef??
That’s right, it’s not just in fish. Grass-fed beef contains two to six times more Omega 3’s than grain-fed. The little moo-moo’s get their Omega 3’s from the green grass they eat on a daily basis. Sure, a grain-fed cow will have Omega 3’s. But, the longer the cow is in a feed lot, the lower the level of Omega 3’s that are contained in the meat and the higher the levels of Omega 6's.
These are just a few benefits from consuming grass-fed beef instead of grain-fed. Now here is a question for you: who would be interested in ordering some grass-fed beef? You will need to find a way to store your cut. We will be making an order very soon, so if you would be interested please email me at mas@crossfitverve.com We will be ordering from Searleranch.com for roughly $3.25/lbs which is about half the price at Whole Foods.
