About Lean ground beef

Lean ground beef is a versatile protein made from finely ground beef with a lower fat content, typically around 10% to 15%. This ingredient is a staple in global cuisines, from American burgers to Italian meat sauces and Mexican tacos. Rich in essential nutrients like protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, lean ground beef supports muscle growth, energy production, and overall health. Its reduced fat content makes it a healthier choice compared to regular ground beef, while still offering robust flavor. However, portion control is important, as overconsumption of red meat can elevate cholesterol levels. Pair lean ground beef with whole grains, vegetables, and healthy fats to create balanced, nutrient-dense meals that fit a variety of dietary preferences.
