Here’s what’s most important to know about grass-fed beef:

• Grass-fed beef ranching is not only good for the animals, but involves managing natural resources and supporting local producers.
• Grass-fed beef is a leaner choice and has a more favorable ratio of omega fatty acids.
• It comes from ranches that have been certified to Global Animal Partnership’s 5-Step™ Animal Welfare Rating system.
• Grass-fed beef is priced fairly for the producer and is worth every penny.
• Grass-fed beef ranching means the animals graze on the feed that suits their digestive systems the best.
• Grass-fed beef is a delicious alternative to grain-fed beef and cooks a little differently.
• Lastly, like all meat sold at Whole Foods Market’s Stores, their standards prohibit animal byproducts in the animal’s feed and both antibiotics and added hormones.
