There are no Big Bruce Events at this current time...
Why do you think that every rural farm-house has big juicy steaks, roasts, or hamburger on the table for meal times? Because it's good for you. Bruce County farmers work up to 16 hours a day and rely on their beef to meet their daily nutritional intake.
Every bite of lean beef is packed with essential nutrients like zinc, iron and B12. And, eight cuts of lean beef *, plus lean and extra lean ground beef qualify for Health Check, a Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada foodinformation program.
Bite for bite, lean beef is a nutritious choice you can feel good about serving Bruce County Beef to your family.
Beef is a power pack of nutrients that benefits people of all ages in maintaining both day-to-day and long-term health. A 3 oz. serving of beef is an excellent source of protein and a good source of iron, zinc, niacin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12, while contributing less than 10% of the calories to a 2,000-calorie diet.
- Beef is the #1 food source of protein, zinc and vitamin B12, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
- Beef supplies high-quality protein, complete with all nine essential amino acids.
- Beef is one of the most important dietary sources of iron. To obtain the same amount of iron found in a 3 oz. serving of beef, you'd have to eat at least 3 cups of raw spinach.
- A 3 oz. serving of beef provides 39% of the Daily Value for zinc. You would need to eat more than eleven 3 oz. servings of tuna to get the same amount of zinc in one 3 oz. serving of beef.
- Beef contains significant amounts of the B-complex vitamins riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, B6 and B12.
