What Is Wagyu Beef? How Is It Different from Other Beef?
Triple T Ranch Provides American Wagyu Beef in Alabama
Perhaps you’ve heard of Wagyu beef, but you aren’t quite sure what the term means. Originally a Japanese beef cattle breed, the word Wagyu itself comes from the Japanese words “Wa” (Japanese) and “gyu” (cow). Wagyu cattle are horned and either red or black in color. They’re considered a premier meat source by chefs and others in the food industry due to their additional intramuscular fat cells, which allow for more marbling of the meat. Although once exclusive to Japan, Wagyu cattle have been present in the United States since they were first imported in 1975. As a Southern Alabama Wagyu cattle breeder, Triple T Ranch ships quality American Wagyu beef both locally and nationally.
The Benefits of Eating Highly Marbled Wagyu Beef
If you’ve never eaten Wagyu beef before, your taste buds will be amazed. Many gourmet restaurants have discovered the rich, buttery flavor and juicy tenderness of Wagyu beef when compared to others. The marbling of the meat means it contains a higher ratio of monounsaturated fat, which the American Heart Association has noted can lead to lower cholesterol, weight loss, and the prevention of coronary heart disease. Wagyu beef also contains higher percentages of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), stearic acid, and oleic acid, which is the same compound found in olive oil that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) says is good for your heart. Wagyu beef is not only cited as being more flavorful, but it also has fewer of the adverse health effects often associated with eating red meat.
How Is Wagyu Beef Regulated in the United States?
Since 1990, the American Wagyu Association has registered Wagyu cattle throughout the United States and Canada. Based in Post Falls, Idaho, this association is dedicated to promoting the Wagyu beef industry’s sustainability in North America. Wagyu cattle breeders primarily target the high-end restaurant industry, which has a high demand for flavorful, highly marbled beef for their patrons. However, anyone concerned about the quality of the red meat they’re consuming should consider making the switch to Wagyu beef. Located in Semmes, Alabama, Triple T Ranch offers pre-portioned single servings available for local delivery or standard overnight shipping in the United States.
