Yes, Belted Galloway beef has been shown to be healthier than beef from many other breeds. Some of the key health benefits are:
Leanness - Galloway cattle produce beef that is naturally leaner than most commercial breeds. Their meat typically has less overall fat content.
Beneficial Fat Profile - While lean, the fat that is present in Galloway beef has a good ratio of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats compared to saturated fats. It contains higher levels of oleic acid and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which have potential heart health benefits.
Grass-Fed - Our Galloways thrive on grass/forage-based diets their entire lives. Grass-fed beef contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants compared to grain-fed.
Lower Cholesterol - Studies have shown Galloway beef contains lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol compared to grain-fed commodity beef.
No Hormones/Antibiotics - Nannas Farm belties are raised naturally without added hormones or routine antibiotic use.
So this is why Nannas Farm Galloway beef provides a leaner cut that is lower in overall fat and saturated fat while supplying beneficial nutrients from the grass-fed diet and breed characteristics.
