Grass-fed Angus Beef

Grass-fed Angus beef is meat from cattle of the Angus breed that have been raised primarily on a diet of grass and forage. This feeding practice can influence the nutritional profile and flavor of the beef compared to grain-fed cattle.

Manufacturers add grass-fed Angus beef to food products primarily as a source of high-quality protein and for its distinct flavor. It is commonly found in convenience foods such as beef sticks, jerky, and other snack meats.

Beef is a commonly consumed food in the United States and is a good source of protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories, and beef can contribute to saturated fat intake depending on the cut and preparation. Some research suggests grass-fed beef may have slightly higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) compared to grain-fed beef, but the health significance of these differences is still being studied.
