NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF GRASS-FED BEEF
When cows are fed a biologically appropriate diet, one that’s rich in vitamins and made for their body to process, the result is a healthy animal and a great-tasting final product. Touted as one of the best natural protein sources available, grass-fed beef is also a source rich in precursors of vitamins A and E and cancer-fighting antioxidants, when compared to grain-fed beef. On top of that, grass-fed beef is one of the top sources of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), a powerful polyunsaturated fatty acid with potential cancer-fighting benefits. Additionally, CLA can discourage weight gain, and help build muscle.
Other well-known nutritional benefits associated with the consumption of grass-fed beef include:
- Grass-fed beef is high in omega-3 fats
- Less total fat
- More heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids
- More conjugated linoleic acid, a type of fat that’s thought to reduce heart disease and cancer risks
- More antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E
- Often, conventional beef cattle eat a diet that includes grains, such as corn. The difference in the diets of the cattle changes the nutrients and fats you get from eating the different types of beef
GRASS-FED BEEF AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Not only is Grass-fed beef extremely beneficial for your personal health, it’s also better for the environment. While many people avoid beef and meat entirely because of environmental concerns, grass-fed and finished beef takes that reasoning off the table.
Traditional grass-based beef production and finishing have a surprisingly positive impact on the environment, with lowered greenhouse gas emissions, increased biodiversity of pasture ecosystems, and an improvement in the quality of run-off water from well-managed pastures.
Everything has been amazing. I recommend you to everyone and plan on purchasing from you for as long as you produce the beef...Please do not forget about me when you get gigantic. All seriousness it's better than Allen Brother, Omaha, really solid.
As for the beef…. Your strong belief that we have been enjoying it, and the chicken, is right on target....Again, for me, I will simply say that the beef that I have been eating lately that came from Sergi Farms was delicious and that I will NEVER go back to the chain stores for meat! I am now a lifelong and completely satisfied customer of Sergi Farms!!! Happily and proudly so!
I've loved everything I have used the beef in thus far. Top quality... So far I have made seasoned ground beef to be used in any/all dishes. Secondly, I used ground beef and a skirt steak when making chili, once again tender and tasty. Finally, I made a Balsamic Glazed slow cooker meal using a Round Roast. Immediately saw the quality of beef prior to cooking. The roast cooked for about 5hrs and came out incredibly tender. Served with a mushroom risotto. The meal was the best I have made in a while.I have been very impressed and will continue to support Sergi Farms when my beef needs arise.
This steak reminds me of the ones we got at the farm growing up. All natural, It is awesome!
We have had the stew meat, ground beef and sirloin steaks. Sooo good! We're very pleased.
We have ordered a few variety boxes of beef from Sergi Farms and have shared them with a few of our family members. Excellent quality and very flavorful cuts of beef. The ground meat was also one of the best we have ever had. We are happy to support local farming and Sergi Farms.
