Wagyu – the Healthy Beef Choice

When you first see a Wagyu steak, you may think “That is a lot of fat!”. But think again!

Wagyu beef has been likened to olive oil and salmon in terms of its health benefits. It has up to 300% more heart healthy mono-unsaturated fat than normal beef due to the high marbling of the meat, as well as incredibly high omega 3 and 6 content.

Wagyu beef has the lowest cholesterol levels of all meats, even lower than fish or chicken, and it contains oleic acid which is considered good for your heart. It’s also believed to have anti-carcinogenic properties

50% of all marbling in Wagyu is healthy mono-unsaturated oleic acid with minimal saturated fat. But even the small amount of saturated fat is composed of 40% stearic acid, which is regarded as having minimal effects on cholesterol levels.

So enjoy your meal of Wagyu beef – it’s a healthy choice!
