> Grass fed beef is higher quality than corn fed beef
So - can I taste the difference? In what way is it "higher quality"? Is it a difference I'm willing to pay for or one that isn't really worth it? I think we've settled with what we have because the quality improvement just isn't that much, if it's noticeable at all.
I've compared many organic and local products side by side with commodity variants and found little to no difference to my tastes, so I have to wonder - is it worth it at all? Certainly not to my cheap palate at least.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoIts popular to believe so, since corn is branded as evil these days. But of course corn-fed beef is tender, juicy and flavorful. Grass-fed is tougher, leaner and less flavorful. I know which one I prefer.
- Retric 10y agoDeer meat is lean and considered very tasty by many, but as with any food difference people are going to defend what they are used to. However, nutritionally corn fed beef has a higher fat content and is worse for you.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoUrban legend. higher fat content is not worse for you.
- Retric 10y agoFirst I said nutrition, fat is close to empty calories. Protein poisoning / rabit starvation is possible, but for the vast majority of people low fat content is much better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_poisoning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_poisoning
