Grass-fed animals eat 100% grass forage and nothing else. When animals are 100% grass-fed, their meat is not only lower in saturated fats but also higher in omega-3 fatty acids. Aside from the health benefits, we believe grass-fed meat is better for the environment, the farmers, the animal and the consumer. And that’s better for everyone.
Grain-finished cattle are supplemented with non-GMO grains to top off their usual free-range pasture-based forage diet.
Not only does New Zealand grass-fed beef and lamb boast the flavours of nature with subtle notes of the green pastures the meat was raised on, but the unique nutritional benefits are second to none. Grass-fed red meat has higher vitamin A and E content and a favourable fat profile. It is lower in total fat, has more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) with a healthier omega 3/omega 6 ratio than grain-fed meat. Packed full of complete protein, bioavailable iron, zinc and vitamin B12, with bio-actives creatine, carnitine and carnosine, plus antioxidants, there’s no denying New Zealand grass-fed beef and lamb is aptly named Natures’ Power Pack.
