What it is
This is a package of ground beef produced under organic farming standards. The cattle are raised without the use of antibiotics or added growth hormones. The beef is made from a blend of cuts, typically including chuck and round, which provides a good balance of flavor and leanness. It is a versatile ingredient for many home-cooked meals.
How people cook with it
Ground beef is a staple in many kitchens, perfect for a wide range of dishes.
- Tacos and burritos
- Burgers and sliders
- Meatloaf and meatballs
- Pasta sauces
To cook, simply brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat. You can then incorporate it into your favorite recipes. For dishes like chili or spaghetti sauce, add it early in the cooking process to allow the flavors to meld. For burgers, form into patties and cook to your desired doneness.
How it differs from similar foods
Organic ground beef differs from conventional ground beef primarily in how the cattle are raised. Organic standards prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, GMOs, antibiotics, and added growth hormones in the feed and for the animals. This results in a product that aligns with specific agricultural practices.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion immediately. It should be stored in a sealed container or tightly wrapped to prevent spoilage and odor transfer. For longer storage, ground beef can be frozen.
