Advantages of Grass Fed Beef

Beef raised on grass (a cow’s natural diet) is much higher in healthy omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin E and healthy fat than that brought up on a diet of grains. Not to mention that grass fed beef is some of the highest quality protein available, vital for building muscle and burning fat.
