Discover the Art of Responsible Eating With Grass-Fed Butter

Aside from being a tasty treat, grass-fed butter can also be incredibly healthful. It contains heart-healthy fats and hard to find nutrients.

Grass fed butter is made in the same way as traditional butter, but is produced using milk or cream from cows that have been exclusively grass fed.

Aligning with Responsible and Sustainable Food Choices

Butter is a high-calorie food, and eating it in excess can lead to weight gain. However, consuming grass-fed butter can help you stay within healthy calorie limits and get more of the good fats your body needs for optimal health.

Cows raised on grass diets also produce a healthy fatty acid called butyrate. This molecule helps keep your digestive system working well and can even prevent a range of health problems from diabetes to cancer.

In contrast, the fatty acids found in conventionally-raised cattle are linked to heart disease. Conventional cattle spend their final months in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). These feed lots are a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions and can cause many health concerns for consumers, including hormone imbalances, diarrhea, and measles.

Avoiding processed foods, shopping the bulk and produce sections of the grocery store, and using reusable totes will reduce energy and packaging waste. You can also shop responsibly by only purchasing what you need to ensure your food doesn’t go bad before it’s consumed.

Supporting My Commitment to Responsible Consumption

Butter is a healthy source of vitamin A and contains short-chain triglycerides that are converted to energy very quickly. Grass-fed butter may contain up to 3 percent more of this vitamin.

Grass-fed butter is made from milk or cream that comes from cows that have been fed grass all their lives. The resulting butter has more omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). It is also higher in butyric acid, which can help boost your metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity.

You can find grass-fed butter at most natural food stores. Look for one that is unsalted, as salted butter usually has added salt. Choosing grass-fed butter is a great way to support responsible consumption. Just be sure to read the label carefully. Many companies use the "grass-fed" label to make their products seem more ethical, even though the USDA doesn't require them to visit the farms or inspect the animals' living conditions before using that designation on their packaging.

Supporting Environmental Stewardship

Butter made from grass-fed cows is starting to reclaim its place in the dairy aisle. In general, grass-fed milk and butter is less processed than traditional butter or margarine. It contains heart-healthy fats, as well as vitamins and minerals from the cows’ diets.

Grass-fed butter can also support responsible environmental stewardship because farmers are taking care to maintain pastures for their livestock. Keeping the land fertile and healthy allows them to provide high-quality milk and butter, as well as other dairy products.

In addition, a pasture-raised diet contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions. It also provides local economies with jobs in farming and other related fields.

Supporting My Health

Butter from grass fed cows contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K2 than grain-fed butter (5). These nutrients can help lower your risk for heart disease, arthritis, depression, and premature death (6).

Grass-fed butter also has less omega-6 fat than conventional butter (7). A high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats is associated with an increased risk of inflammation and certain health conditions (8).

Whether you spread grass-fed butter on your morning toast, use it for cooking, or add it to your bulletproof coffee, this delicious butter will provide the benefits of healthy fats and support responsible consumption. Unlike other forms of “healthy” butter, grass-fed butter is produced by farmers who value their animals’ health and the environment. Objective information breeds responsible eating, but it’s difficult to find in a society where money drives many of the suggestions people receive about what they should eat (and not eat). Only by taking your food choices into your own hands can you ensure that you are doing your part to live responsibly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I go organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. When buying food, you must make wise choices.

The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.

When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies

USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.

Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."

Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.

Frozen and canned meats should be preferred to fresh. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.

Organic foods are better for us.

According to the Environmental Working Group’s latest report on pesticide residues, organic fruits/vegetables had nearly half as many pesticides than non-organic. Organic apples had eight times less pesticides than nonorganic apples. However, organic strawberries had four times the amount of pesticides as their conventional counterparts.

Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. For instance, one study showed that children who consumed organic meat had 33% less blood lead levels than children who did not. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.

Overall, organic food does seem to be safer than its non-organic counterpart. Experts recommend that fresh produce and vegetables be used whenever possible to reduce your chances of developing cancer.

What is the difference between organic food and inorganic?

Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices improve soil health and water quality as well as animal welfare.

Inorganic foods may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).

The term "natural" is often used interchangeably with "organic." However, natural does not necessarily mean organic. Natural products can also be labeled with synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.

• Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)

How To

What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products

Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They come from clean water sources and free-range animals. Organic means that they are free from chemicals and additives. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.

The term "natural" refers to how food is grown. This term is often used to refer to foods that are not processed into final forms (such as fruits). Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types have been tested for quality and safety. Organic produce has less pesticide residues and pollutant than conventionally grown food.

In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.

If you are pregnant, or nursing, these products should not be eaten. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
