5 Reasons to Love 100% Organic Grass Fed Meat
Research has shown that when an animal is fed grain for as little as 80 days, the quality of the nutrients in the red meat decrease significantly.
It is quite unusual to find 100% organic grass fed meat in the UK, as most animals are fed some grain in their diets to reach the desired weight and conformation for supermarkets.
We've put together some of the many BENEFITS of eating Organic 100% Grass Fed Meat versus grain fed meat below:
1) Protects Against Cancer, Diabetes and Heart Disease
There is a very special fat, CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), that is found naturally in meat products. 100% Grass Fed Meat is one of the best dietary sources of CLA, and grass fed Meat contains 3 times more CLA on average than grain fed Meat.
CLA is considered to be one of the most powerful nutrients which can defend against all three stages of Cancer - CLA has been shown to promote healthy blood sugar levels and thereby reduce our chances of diabetes - Heart health has been clinically proven to improve as CLA consumption increases.
2) Contains More Healthy Fats & Fat Soluble Vitamins
Just like certain oily fish, 100% Grass Fed Meat is an abundant source of omega-3, in-fact ,100% grass fed beef contains up to 6 times more omega-3 than grain fed beef, whereas grain fed beef contains higher levels of omega-6 which most people already eat too much of.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential, they modify how our body responds to stress and control many metabolic processes. They help with arthritis, decreasing all markers of inflammation, help with depression by increasing well-being and help us focus.
3) Contains More Vitamins, Minerals & Antioxidants
Higher levels of iron, zinc, Vitamin B6, B12, Vitamin E, beta-carotene (a precursor to Vitamin A) and many more essential minerals and trace elements.
4) Free From Antibiotics, Pesticides, & GMOs
Like people, an animal's diet and environment strongly influences its health. Cattle and sheep evolved to eat mainly grass and their digestive systems, are not built to consume grain, which changes the pH in the rumen, resulting in physiological stress.
Grain Fed Animals may be fed routine antibiotics due to the inevitable illnesses that arise from an unnatural diet. You can be assured that Gazegill’s 100% Grass Fed Organic Meat & Raw Milk contains no antibiotics, pesticides, or GMO’s.
5) The Taste is Amazing
Our animals feed on our heritage wildflower meadows, which contain an abundance of herbs, flowers, clovers and legumes. In our opinion, this gives our meat a more intense and better flavour.
In Summary
Consuming 100% Organic Grass-Fed Meat and Milk is one of the best ways to ensure you aren't consuming any nasties in your Meat, and means you are also supporting higher animal welfare standards and small-scale farmers like us.
