Why should I eatgrass fed and finished beef while on Whole30?
The answer is simple. Cleaner beef equals a cleaner, healthier you while embarking on this dietary reset.
There are many factors that make grass fed and finished beef a better choice during Whole30. Let’s jump in and take a look at why choosing grass fed and finished beef over its grain-fed, feedlot-contained counterpart is the right choice.
5 Reasons to Buy Grass Fed and Finished Beef
Grass fed and finished beef contains higher amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids and CLAs (Conjugated Linoleic Acids). Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to help prevent heart disease, while CLAs are thought to help burn fat and fight inflammation. You do not have to be afraid of fat when the fat you are choosing reaps health benefits.
Grass-fed and finished beef has been shown to have higher amounts of Vitamin B12 and K2, and more antioxidants, specifically Vitamin E. Vitamin B12 supports cognitive function and endurance, while Vitamin K2 is important for heart and bone health. Give us all the vitamin power.
In general, grass fed and finished beef has lower amounts of overall fat, which balances a healthy diet. You need fat in your diet, but you don’t want too much like some conventional beef cuts can give. It is all about balance. Grass fed and finished beef contains lower amounts of fat compared to grain-fed beef, and, in our opinion, it has even more flavor. Win-win in our book.
Animals that are raised on a grass fed and finished diet are generally smaller in size, as they are left to grow at a normal and natural pace. This translates to smaller, more appropriately sized steaks that help to keep portion control in check. Yes, you can enjoy an entire steak and not feel guilty.
Raising conditions and animal welfare are also big drivers for choosing grass fed and finished beef. Animals raised in their natural environments result in higher quality, tastier beef. It is beef you can feel good about eating and feel confident about the conditions the cattle were raised in.
There are some foods that get bad reputations. They are demonized. We are here to explain why full-fat dairy, whole eggs, salt, and beef are not foods you should stay away from.
Hamburger buns are one of those items that get forgotten at the grocery store. At least once a summer, I walk out of the store, cart between my fingers, running over my grocery list in my mind and think, "Shoot!", I forgot the buns. Here are 3 back up burger combos so that second trip through the automatic doors isn't necessary.
We took 6 classic burger toppings and amped them up with some heat, zest and flavour. Check out these 6 not so basic burger toppings and become a cookout master.
My favorite cut is the filet mignon. So tender and delicious! My passions are food, health, and overall wellness. There’s nothing better than working for a company who embodies all three! My ideal weekend is naturally waking up early and making a hearty breakfast, relaxing at home until I get antsy, then taking a yoga class or going on a hike with my family and ending with a few house projects and time outside by our fire pit.

"Real talk...since my cancer was environmental and not hereditary I am super conscious of what goes into my body, especially protein. Post chemo left my body super low in iron so steak remains in my diet. I found Pre a few months ago and it’s the only meat I buy. Grass-fed, no added hormones and most importantly affordable. Eat better for your body people!"

"Your steaks, especially the sirloin, ribeye, and filet mignon are absolutely delicious. Wasn’t sure how these cuts would taste grilled but they taste just as good if not better than cuts I’ve had a top notch steakhouses."

"When our son was diagnosed with a rare medical disorder, it meant that we would have to change our diet as a family. Because his metabolism doesn’t function like a typical person’s, we have to be very careful about what we feed him. One of the changes we made was to use more grass-fed and finished beef in our cooking. We decided to give Pre a try, and we are so happy with the quality and taste of the meat. Buying from Pre gives us peace of mind and we feel confident knowing that we are using a product in the top of its class."
