Grass-Fed Over Grain-Fed!

We’re extremely excited about the first ever fitness and nutrition SFN Expo later this month. So much so, that we have booked our very own stand in the kitchen quarter. We’ll be serving up samples of our new power food burgers to fitness and nutrition enthusiasts from all round the UK!

So what is it that makes our burgers so powerful?  For one, they are full of super food ingredients such as adzuki beans, hemp seeds and blueberries. Our power burgers are also made with lean grass fed steak! Real lean grass fed steak is in increasingly high demand and can be slightly pricier because of the rearing process, but the benefits of grass fed beef undoubtedly trump that!

So why should health conscious individuals choose grass fed over grain fed?

#Reason 1 – More Protein!

Grass is a cow’s natural diet… their stomach is designed to turn that grass into protein, which of course ups the protein in the meat content. Humans need protein to feed their muscles, and any fitness enthusiast will tell you that a protein rich diet is a must have!

#Reason 2 – Fat Fighting CLA

Grass fed beef naturally contains more CLA than its grain fed counterpart. CLA has recently been taking the fat loss & fitness market by storm. Studies have shown that regular consumption leads to fat loss and preserved muscle mass. More in depth research has also begun to suggest that CLA can help prevent cancer and chronic inflammation!

#Reason 3 – Omega 3 over Omega 6

Grass fed beef is also higher in certain essential fatty acids such as omega-3, which can help keep your cholesterol regulated, and reducing inflammation throughout your body. Grass fed beef is also lower in omega-6 than grain fed beef, which can potentially cause inflammation.

#Reason 4 – Antioxidants, Vitamins & Minerals!
Grass fed beef is packed full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin E, glutathione, zinc, iron, sodium and potassium among many more. In comparison grain fed beef naturally has many of these benefits but on a much smaller scale. If you want to really get the benefit of these minerals grass fed beef is a good choice!

#Reason5 – Support Local

Many smaller local farms rear their cows on grass, resulting in higher quality meat. Large chains tend to have high demand, and high turnover, which results in them using the cheapest and fastest way of rearing beef. If you want to support local, look to your local butcher and ask where their grass fed beef is supplied.

We source all of our ingredients locally. If you are interested in eating grass-fed beef, check out our new Power Food burger range, made with lean grass fed steak in our online shop.
