2.  There are many different reasons that people
choose to buy better quality meat, but some
aren’t exactly sure where to start.
 One of the options that you have is to only
buy certified organic beef.
 If you’re ready to improve the quality of
meat you buy, follow these tips the next
time you shop.

3.  Most people ignore the
labels on their food; as
the majority of people
that do look are checking
the ingredients, and not
necessarily the amounts.
 Reading the nutrition
labels of the meat you
buy can help identify the
quality of the meat item.
 The nutrition labels can
tell you how lean your
meat is, as the fat
content in the beef can
alter its taste and
nutritional value.

4.  The USDA regulates
whether beef can be
labeled as lean or extra
lean based on its fat
and cholesterol
content.
 A regular serving of
lean beef would have
to have 10 grams or
less of total fat, 4.5
grams or less of
saturated fat, and 95
milligrams of
cholesterol.
 Consider buying
extra lean cuts of
beef instead. Here’s
why:
◦ Extra lean cuts of
beef have 5 grams of
total fat and 2 of
saturated fat, but
have the same
amount of
cholesterol as lean
cuts of beef.

5.  Grass-fed beef is typically
leaner than other types of
beef.
 At Rastelli Direct, we
currently offer USDA
certified grass-fed organic
beef, which is free of the
following:
◦ Steroids
◦ GMO (Genetically
Modified Organisms)
◦ Hormones
◦ Antibiotics
◦ Pesticides
 Our grass-fed organic
beef is perfect for those
that are looking to
improve their health with
leaner, organic beef that
is humanely raised in a
natural environment.

6.  Shopping for high
quality organic
grass-fed beef can
sometimes mean
spending a little
more.
 Make sure to look for
sales or consider
buying organic meat
items that include
organic steaks in
bulk online to save.
 Since 2010, Rastelli
Direct has provided
all of our customers
with the same
gourmet meat and
food items that are
used by your favorite
chefs and
restaurants.
