Health Benefits of Pasture-Raised Meat

Pasture-raised, grass-fed meat offers significant health benefits when compared to conventional grain-fed options. Research indicates that animals raised on pasture have higher levels of beneficial compounds such as omega-3 fatty acids and polyphenolic compounds. These compounds contribute to better metabolic health, improved mitochondrial function, and lower markers of oxidative stress in the meat. Consuming meat from healthier animals is presumed to provide greater nutritional value, suggesting that the extra cost associated with pasture-raised options may be justified.
