Students have been learning about the benefits of eating meat as well as what part of the cow is used for different cuts of meat.

 

Beef Nutrition

Beef is rich in many of the nutrients we need to stay healthy such as:


Protein- A 100g serve of cooked beef provides 34g of protein, which is more than half our daily requirements.

Iron and Zinc- A 100g serve of cooked beef provides, on average, 25% of the recommended daily intake.

Omega-3 fatty acids- Australian beef is a source of omega-3 fatty acids as our cattle are grass-fed for most or all of their life. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for a healthy heart.

B vitamins- Beef is a good source of vitamin B12, niacin and vitamin B6.It also contains the B vitamins thiamine, riboflavin and pantothenic acid.

Students have been working hard on Archi. We have chosen to show the journey of meat from the farm yard to the dinner table. The students are having a great time as you can see by the pictures below.
