Benefits of Highland Cross Beef
Healthier Beef
Highland beef compared to other commercially sold meat contains almost 7% more protein and almost 17% more iron, averaging over 4% less cholesterol and is low in saturated fat & other bad fats such as Omega 6 but higher levels of good fats such as Omega 3.*
Better Quality Beef
Highland beef is known to be produce a more well marbled and tender meat due to their ability to grow their thick shaggy coat in the winter. With that coat there is no need for them to generate a fat cap similar to other short haired cattle like angus. Resulting in less fatty and more marbled cuts of meat.
Tenderness
Highland Beef is shown to be almost 23% more tender than commercial beef, scoring, at 83.27, well below the 100 which benchmarks meat as “very tender”.*
Breed Behaviors Impacting Taste
The non-selective grazing and foraging habits of Highland cattle are widely recognized as being attributed to enhancing the flavor of the beef.
Vitamin Packed Beef
Higher in levels of vitamins A (β-carotene) and E (α-tocopherol) - all antioxidants, which you can preserve by slow cooking the meat. + highland meat is packed full of vitamin B12, an essential nutrient that is important for blood formation and your brain and nervous system. It is also higher in levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is one of the most potent defenses against heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer.*
Fun Fact
The British Royal Family only consumes highland beef due to its premium quality and taste. They own their own herd of Highlands to supply their beef and even have their beef shipped so that when they travel they are still only consuming premium Highland beef.
