Ground Beef (20% Fat)

Ground Beef (20% Fat) is a common ground beef cut made from chuck, widely used in burgers, meat sauces and casseroles for its rich flavor and good cooking fat content. It supplies 17g of protein per 100g, making it a strong source of high-quality, satiating protein. It also provides notable amounts of vitamin B12 and zinc, nutrients often sought from red meat. Overall, this product is valued for its amino acid profile and ability to keep you full, though it contains more total and saturated fat than leaner ground meats, so it’s often swapped for leaner or plant-based alternatives when a lower-fat option is preferred.
