Ground chuck beef is a type of ground meat sourced specifically from the chuck primal cut, which comes from the shoulder area of the cow. This cut typically contains around 15-20% fat, making it flavorful and ideal for dishes requiring both texture and taste, such as burgers, meatballs, or casseroles. It is a staple in American cuisine but is also widely used in Italian, Mexican, and global recipes. Ground chuck provides a good source of protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as iron and zinc, which support energy production and overall health. However, its moderate fat content means it should be consumed in balance with other lean proteins if dietary fat intake is a concern. Opting for leaner variations or properly draining grease during cooking can make it a healthier choice for everyday meals.
