OUR BEEF
BENEFITS OF GRASSFED BEEF
Clear Springs cattle are raised and grown out exclusively on pasture. We breed our cattle to meet consumer demand for natural, wholesome food.
Our 100% grassfed Black Angus are never finished on grain, yield leaner meat (but retain intra-muscular marbling in accordance with the MSA gradings assessed during carcase sampling) with the following health benefits.
WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS?
-
Naturally low in fat, calories and cholesterol
-
Higher level of Omega-3 fatty acids, for cardiovascular and brain health
-
Richer in conjugated linoleic acide (CLA), a beneficial fatty acid that is believed to reduce heart disease and cancer risks
-
More beta-carontene and lutein, for defense against disease (concentrations of beta-carotene are 7 times higher in grassfed than grainfed beef)
-
More antioxidant vitamins, such as Vitamin E, for defense against cancer, heart health and vision
-
More Vitamin B, including thiamin, riboflavin and Vitamin B12.
