Grass-fed Beef Burgers

Grass-fed Beef Burgers

By Traeger Kitchen

Grass-fed beef feed on grass and a mixture of other forage. This produces less marbling, but the fat produced has a greater percentage of healthy Omega 3 fats than Omega 6. The lower fat and the higher percentage of Omega 3s compared to Omega 6s changes the culinary performance of grassfed beef: it cooks more quickly than corn fed beef and responds very well to high heat cooking.
