About Beef, ground, 97% lean meat / 3% fat, crumbles, cooked, pan-browned
At 97/3, this is about as lean as commercially ground beef gets. Pan-browned crumbles from this blend are noticeably drier than the 93/7 version - less fat means less moisture retention during cooking. Protein content is very high relative to fat. The trade-off is texture: without enough fat to bind and lubricate, the crumbles can feel slightly chalky on their own. Adding a sauce, broth, or other moisture source while cooking helps significantly. Good choice for strict protein tracking.
