Organic grass-fed beef offers certain heart-healthy benefits that some other types of beef don't have:

• Less total fat overall
• Extra antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E
• More heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids

The difference in the diets of the cattle changes the nutrients and fats you get from eating the different types of beef.

Grass-fed beef simply means the cattle were allowed to forage and graze for their own fresh food. They might be given close substitutes like alfalfa during the Winter, but unlike grain-fed animals, the emphasis is still on providing the closest thing to a natural diet as possible.
