"Why is grass fed beef fat yellowish instead of bright white?"

 

The key ingredient that makes grass fed beef fat

look yellow instead of white is beta-carotene.

 

 Beta-carotene is a natural form of Vitamin A - an

essential nutrient - which the body can convert to

Vitamin A as needed.

 

It is also one of the contributing micro-nutrients

that gives  grass fed beef fat its

superior flavour.

​

When cattle consume beta-carotene-rich foods, it is stored in their fat.

​

And likewise, when we eat beta-carotene-rich foods like (carrots,

pumpkins, or beef) then we transfer that beta-carotene

to our own body fat reserves.

​

So the yellowish color of grass fed fat is actually a sign that

it is good for you!
