These days there are several options when you are purchasing meat for good hamburger meat recipes. You will see both organic and conventional beef options at your grocery store, and you might wonder exactly what that means. The main differences between certified organic bee and conventional beef are in what foods the cows are fed, and the manner and way in which the animals are raised. When it comes to what food the cows or other animals are fed, organic farmers must follow a set of organic rules from the USDA. These rules do not allow the farmers to feed the animals any remnants of other animals; the animals must be fed a diet that is 100 percent organic feed, and also be allowed to roam wildly and eat grass. Organic meat is also antibiotic and hormone free. Certified organic animals are not administered any antibiotics or hormones or fed GMOs or pesticide-containing feed, which means you will not be ingesting any of these drugs or chemicals. For free range or grass fed meat these animals are raised humanely and ethically. The animals are allowed to graze on whatever is in the area and are not caged in tiny coops or fenced-in areas. Regardless if you eat a little or a lot of meat, it's a good idea to eat organic meat whenever you can. Pregnant women and children can especially benefit from avoiding foods with extra antibiotics and hormones.

While organic meat is more expensive than conventional meats, you will usually find only by a few cents to a dollar per pound. You might try to start buying organic meats for one meal a week or try eating less meat, so when you do have meat, it's organic or free-range. It is said that certified organic meats have a fresher and more authentic taste because the animals are fed a more natural diet and are free of hormones and chemicals that conventionally-raised animals are given. Studies have shown that organic meats are higher in antioxidants, so they offer a better taste experience. A diet that is high in antioxidants may help to get rid of free radicals in the body. Free radicals may contribute to disease in the body. Plus you can feel better about supporting an industry that is better for both the animals and the environment. When it comes to making homemade meatballs, it's always a good idea to get ground beef that comes from happy cows. Free range grass fed meat ensures that the cows are not fed with soy or corn based diet. Free range meat allows the animals to be raised on grass pasture, helping the animals to live a better life.
