PEIDMONTESE BEEF is Nutrient Rich, Low in Fat, Low in Calories, and
Low in Cholesterol.
The American Heart Association recommends
300mg of dietary cholesterol per day. One serving (3.5oz)
of F1 Piedmontese Beef amounts to less than 21% of this
daily allowance.
Beef is a valuable source of dietary
iron, zinc and protein. Being lower in fat means being
lower in calories. USDA tests confirm that Piedmontese F1
Beef is genetically lower in fat than other breeds.
