Benefits of Grass-Fed Angus Beef

New Zealand Angus Beef is renowned for its flavour and tenderness, and alongside the mouthwatering flavour profile you can enjoy if you choose the right Angus Beef NZ producer, there are some other benefits you may not have considered,

We all know that beef can be a rich source of iron, and choosing grass-fed Angus Beef, which has been raised with the freedom to roam, ensures that you are choosing iron-rich proteins of the highest quality. Did you know that New Zealand Angus Beef also contains many other vitamins and minerals that are good for you?

Read on here to discover some of the lesser-known benefits of grass-fed Angus Beef and learn a bit about the way Matangi approaches farming to ensure that all the beef we deliver fresh to your door is tender, delicious, and chock full of goodness from the land. 

What is Matangi New Zealand Angus Beef? 

We raise our premium beef across two family-owned cattle stations in the beautiful Hawkes Bay. Matangi cattle enjoy the shade of native bush and fresh spring water, and they roam free across the ranges, rolling hills, and fertile flats with the same herd throughout their lifetime. We embrace a sustainable farming ethos and maintain full curation over our product so we can tell you what happens at every single step of the journey.

When you choose the Angus Beef NZ connoisseurs prefer, you get to enjoy exceptional marbling. We hang our beef on the bone for 21 days to ensure the richest flavour, and our outstanding range of beef cuts is delivered straight to your door for guaranteed freshness. We are proud to be raising New Zealand Angus Beef for Kiwis. We don't export it; we reserve our beef for the NZ domestic market.

Health Benefits of Matangi Angus Beef

Along with providing the best possible environment for our cattle and utilising preparation methods that translate to the best possible flavour outcomes, our beef is rich in a number of vitamins and minerals essential to a healthy diet.

• Iron

Iron benefits us in a range of ways, including improved sleep and boosted immunity. Iron is essential for the production of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of the body.

When you don’t consume enough iron, you may feel fatigued and irritable, experience headaches, and you may get sick more easily. 

• Selenium

Selenium is a powerful anti-oxidant that lowers inflammation. Some studies have revealed that it has cancer-fighting properties. It is also thought to be efficacious to add to your diet if you are suffering from Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or Multiple Sclerosis. It could help lower the risk of strokes and heart disease, and it is an essential mineral found in all our New Zealand Angus Beef.

• Potassium

Potassium is an electrolyte that is beneficial for the nervous system and your heart and can even help prevent stroke. Some studies have shown that it is good for prevention of kidney stones, and it can help lower your blood pressure by reducing the effects of sodium on the body. The right amount of potassium in your diet can help prevent cardiovascular disease and it also helps to move waste products out of your blood.

• Zinc

Essential for optimal health, zinc works to boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and help your body grow healthy cells. The Zinc you can access when you eat New Zealand Angus Beef also helps your body to synthesise the protein so you can reap all the benefits. Every cell in the body needs Zinc, which is especially vital for growth and development, so make sure your teens and little ones get some Angus Beef in their diet regularly.
