so people say that ground beef is fatter, but why is that so? Thanks !
In: Biology
Because usually ground beef comes from some of the poorer cuts of beef (because when you grind it, texture doesn’t matter at all so why not keep the better cuts for things like steak and such), usually with some of the fat from an entirely different part of the cow, or even an entirely different cow mixed in, whereas a cut of beef can be lean or fatty depending on the cut and the particular animal. Now neither are particularly healthy, red meat is notoriously bad for your cholesterol, but since ground beef is usually more fatty, it’s generally less healthy, although you can get lean ground beef and then it doesn’t really matter all that much.
