What results is meat with a higher omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio compared to meat from cows that only ate grasses. Grass-fed beef is also higher in vitamins E and A, lower in fat and contains more antioxidants.
What Does Grass-Finished Beef Mean?
For meat to be labeled, “grass-fed,” it must be raised solely on grass for its entire life.
You may find some beef labeled as “grass-finished,” which means that the cattle may have been raised on grains but foraged grasses only near the end of its life. (Some companies or ranches use the very specific label of “grass-fed, grass-finished” to clarify that the cow only ever ate grass its whole life, but as stated, this is redundant.)
