About Beef, ground, 70% lean meat / 30% fat, raw
This ground meat comes from cattle and is a rich source of high-quality protein, providing all essential amino acids needed for muscle maintenance and repair. With a fat content of 30%, it delivers a substantial amount of energy and fat-soluble vitamins, though it is also higher in saturated fat and cholesterol compared to leaner cuts. It contains no carbohydrates or fiber, making it suitable for low-carb and ketogenic dietary patterns. The protein content supports satiety and can be beneficial in weight management when consumed in appropriate portions.
In the kitchen, this versatile ingredient is commonly used for burgers, meatballs, tacos, and meat sauces. Its higher fat content helps keep dishes moist and flavorful, but it can also lead to more shrinkage during cooking as the fat renders out. For those mindful of fat intake, draining excess fat after cooking or mixing it with leaner meats can help balance nutrition without sacrificing taste. When handled properly and cooked to safe internal temperatures, it can be a satisfying and nutrient-dense part of a balanced diet.
