What is Wagyu Ground Beef?

Wagyu ground beef is a winning combination of purebred Japanese Wagyu cattle and high-quality American cattle. The result is incomparable – deep marbling, rich, buttery flavor, and a tender texture that melts in your mouth.  

 

Wagyu Ground Beef vs Regular Beef

Wagyu ground beef is considered a tastier alternative to regular ground beef and is also a healthier option. Why? Ever wondered why the ground beef you find pre-packed in the supermarket often looks almost neon pink? This is because the ground beef you are buying could, and is likely, packed with preservatives such as nitrates and sulfites which give the beef that unnatural pink color. There is no real way to know the grade or quality of the meat.

Snake River Farms Wagyu ground beef, on the other hand, is 100% natural and contains no added hormones. It’s the same ground beef you find being used by top chefs and restaurants for everything from burgers and sliders to meatloaf, meatballs, and other signature dishes.

The biggest difference between Wagyu ground beef vs regular is the taste. Wagyu tends to have a buttery sweetness and rich flavor that melts in your mouth. Compare Wagyu and regular side-by-side and you’ll notice the taste difference right away. We dare say you might become a bit of a meat snob and turn up your nose at regular ground beef.
