THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF GRASS-FED BEEF
At The Biltong Bandit, we’re proud to craft biltong from premium, free-range grass-fed beef that doesn’t just taste incredible - it also offers real nutritional advantages.
Made using carefully selected grass-fed beef from trusted farms, our biltong is a smarter snack choice for those who care about health, quality, and sustainability. Here’s why grass-fed beef stands out.
RICH ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS
Grass-fed beef provides a wide range of vitamins and minerals, including:
-
Vitamin B12 - supports brain health and energy production.
-
Zinc - strengthens the immune system and aids wound healing.
-
Iron - helps transport oxygen in the blood and fights fatigue.
-
Selenium - an antioxidant that protects cells from damage.
HIGHER IN OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS
Grass-fed beef typically contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-fed beef. Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to:
-
Supporting heart health as part of a balanced diet.
-
Supporting normal brain function.
-
Contributing to the maintenance of healthy skin and joints.
PACKED WITH ANTIOXIDANTS
Grass-fed beef generally contains higher levels of natural antioxidants such as vitamin E and beta-carotene. These nutrients help:
-
Protect cells from oxidative stress.
-
Support overall cellular health and normal aging processes.
LEANER AND LOWER IN FAT
Grass-fed beef is typically leaner than grain-fed beef, which means:
-
It generally contains less total fat and therefore fewer calories per serving.
-
It often has slightly lower levels of saturated fat, making it a naturally lean red-meat choice.
NATURALLY HIGHER IN CLA
Grass-fed beef naturally contains higher levels of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) - often two to three times more than grain-fed beef. Studies suggest CLA may:
-
Play a role in supporting healthy body composition.
-
Support bone health and normal metabolic processes.
-
Contribute to immune function.
While research is ongoing, grass-fed beef remains one of the richest natural dietary sources of CLA.
RAISED NATURALLY
Our beef is sourced from farmers who raise cattle using natural, pasture-based methods and do not use added hormones, steroids, or routine antibiotics. This results in a cleaner, more naturally produced product.
Pasture-based grass-fed farming supports:
-
Healthier soil structure and nutrient cycling
-
Increased biodiversity
-
More regenerative, environmentally conscious farming practices
Choosing grass-fed supports farmers who prioritise sustainable, ethical, and environmentally responsible production methods.
