Lean Beef, Heart Health

Date: 9/11/2014
Time:  3:30 PM - 6:00 PM
Type: Demo/Sampling

There are more than 29 cuts of beef that meet government guidelines for “lean.” An easy way to identify lean cuts of meat is to look for the word “loin” or “round” in the name. Some of the lean cuts of meat include tenderloin, top sirloin, round steak and ground round.

The American Heart Association also has its Heart-Check Food Certification Program. Look for the red heart and white checkmark on items in the grocery store that meet American Heart Association nutrition requirements. There are currently three Hy-Vee Brand meats in our cases that have the American Heart Association Certification: Hy-Vee Angus Reserve Top of Iowa Sirloin, Hy-Vee Angus Reserve Bottom Round Steak and Hy-Vee Angus Reserve Bottom Round Roast. Next time you are at the grocery store, pick up a lean cut of beef as part of a heart-healthy diet.
