All natural, grain-fed, grass-finished, grass-fed — if you think you know your beef, think again. Buzzwords like “grass-fed” and “natural beef” make us think we’re getting the best quality meat, but there are many loopholes in these grocery store labels. Did you know that the only requirement for “natural beef” is that no artificial ingredients are used? That means antibiotics, hormones, and GMO feed are all fair game.
Your choice of beef helps fight climate change. No, really. Local Roots beef is pasture raised: cattle graze on open land, spreading manure as they roam, which increases fertility of the soil, causing more plant growth. As a result, plants have longer roots that give them the ability to store larger amounts of CO2 that they pull from the atmosphere. This carbon is kept safely in the soil carbon pool underground. Is all this science making anyone else hungry?
Let me just say this: I went into this skeptically. I've been cooking for 55 years, learning from my grandmother while I stood on a box. And I've been through more CSAs than there are letters in the alphabet. But ‘whatthehell,’ give it a try. It's a perfect 10. It really, really is. I have been SO pleased with the ingredients...and I feel like the kits are bargains. So, thank you.
