Do you think all grassfed beef is created equal? Think again!
When it comes to the elevation at which those cows roam, higher is definitely better.
Let's dive into why higher elevation grassfed beef is the cream of the crop (or should we say, the steak of the pasture?).
Why is Higher Elevation Beef Better?
Picture this: cows grazing on lush, mountainous pastures, breathing in that fresh, crisp air.
The higher the elevation, the cleaner the air, the richer the soil, and the more diverse the vegetation.
All of these factors contribute to a healthier, happier cow and ultimately, tastier beef.
Leaner and More Flavorful
The higher altitude and cooler temperatures result in leaner muscle development.
As the muscles are worked more, this enhances the taste and texture of the meat.
Contrast this to beef at the grocery store which lacks flavor and is much lighter in color.
You don't even have to marinate our steaks--just salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder.
They are already FULL of amazing flavor!
Lower Environmental Toxins
Our bovines that graze up high definitely aren't exposed to environmental toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, and pollutants.
This makes for the CLEANEST grassfed beef.
Higher Omega-3 Content
Grassfed beef from higher elevations typically have higher omega-3 fatty acid content compared to beef from lower elevations.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for heart health and brain function, making higher elevation grassfed beef a healthier choice for consumers.
