Do
you care about what animals eat? Who cares! But if you love to eat meat, this
piece of information might serve a great assistance to you.
Jerky
and Biltong are two of the most scrumptious preserved meats and these have
followers all over the world. The raw meat for these products is best obtained
from beef or pork, depending upon what is available locally. However, the
obtained beef too could vary greatly in its content, as per what is consumed by
the concerned animal.
According
to a study at California State University’s College of Agriculture, beef which
is fed on grass contains a considerable portion of omega-3 fatty acids and
linoleic acid too. This is why African biltong, that is prepared out of
grass-fed beef, is a good source of proteins, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and even contains
powerful cancer-fighting antioxidants.
Do
you now care for what the animals eat to give you a combination of healthy and
tasty meat? You would rather offer it much more attention when you read along.
