Nesbitts Meat Market Tweets Inspire Question -Why Choose Extra Lean Beef?
Extra-Lean beef is lowest in cholesterol and saturated fat, making it a good choice for low-fat diets.
Nutrition Diva, Monica Reinagel, M.S.,L.D./N, comparing lean ground turkey with lean ground beef, notes both have the same amount of fat and calories, but the ground beef has almost twice as much iron, zinc, and vitamin B12 as the ground turkey!
Since extra-lean cuts lack the tenderizing effect of the marbling, extra-lean beef is best cooked slowly with moisture, and you may wish to tenderize it by marinating prior to cooking.

' I’d like to point out that meat contains a mixture of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fat. Saturated fat is thought to be the least healthy, especially for your heart. And monounsaturated fats, which are the type you get in olive oil, are thought to be the most healthful. Although it varies from cut to cut, on the whole I’ve noticed that beef and pork tend to contain a greater percentage of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats than turkey or chicken.' shares Ms Reinagel.In addition, there is less shrinkage after cooking,- with extra-lean beef it's pretty much- 'what you buy is what you get.'
