Low fat for a healthy diet
New Zealand beef is low in fat and cholesterol. It is important to
remember that a small amount of fat in the diet is necessary for the
essential fatty acids, and for the absorption of the fat-soluble
vitamins A, D, E, and K. When trimmed of external fat and cooked without
additional fat, beef is ideal as part of a healthy diet. When trimmed,
New Zealand beef contains about four percent fat. Half of this is
monounsaturated, a type of fat which may help to lower blood
cholesterol. It includes Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids in proportions
thought to be beneficial to health and associated with a reduced
incidence of heart disease.
The consistent tenderness and healthiness of New Zealand beef means consumers the world over can be assured they will enjoy a meal event to remember each time they choose New Zealand beef.
