Nutritional Information
We're talking nature here, so the chances are the nutritional composition of our beef will vary from piece to piece. However, as a guide, we have included the nutritional information of two random pieces of beef tested in 2016 by UKAS accredited Ashwoods UK Ltd..
If similiar figures available on the web for other types of beef are correct,
the difference in the saturated (not so good) fat levels beween Hardiesmill beef (which is reared on Scotch grass), USDA Prime and Wagyu is staggering.
Hardiesmill has 35-49% less saturated fat whilst the poly-unsaturated (essential) fatty acids (e.g Omega 3 & 6), as a percentage of total fats, is 56% more than USDA and double that of Wagyu.
Basically we are talking over 50 calories less per 100 g of Hardiesmill than for Wagyu and over 75 calories less per 100 g of Hardiesmill than for USDA Prime!
