Rapeseed Oil, Grass Fed Beef and Whey Protein
One of the topics we’d not touched on much, is that of our raw ingredients. In a series of articles, we’re going to share exactly what ingredients we use and the reasons we do so. There are ingredients we meticulously select and use in our recipes. From farm-fresh produce to ethically sourced meats and vibrant spices, each element is chosen not only for its flavour but also for its nutritional value and sustainability.
Oragnic Rapeseed Oil
Rapeseed oil, often overlooked, is a powerhouse of nutrition and versatility. This oil is derived from the seeds of the rapeseed plant and is prized for its high content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for heart health. Additionally, it contains vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.
Despite the benefits, seed oils like rapeseed oil have faced criticism, often being labelled as unhealthy due to their processing methods and omega-6 content. However, it’s important to debunk this myth. The key is balance and quality. Organic rapeseed oil is minimally processed and retains its nutritional value without the harmful chemicals found in conventional options. Moreover, while excessive omega-6 consumption can be problematic, rapeseed oil’s balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids supports heart health and reduces inflammation when consumed in moderation.
At Soothe, we use organic rapeseed oil for all our grilled proteins. So, from your Grass Fed Charred Steak, Flaky Salmon Fillet, Pan Seared Chicken Breast and King Oyster Mushrooms – we’ve got you covered.
Grass Fed Organic Beef
The term “grass-fed” refers to cattle that have been raised on a diet primarily consisting of grass, as opposed to grain-fed beef. This natural diet has several benefits:
Nutritional Profile: Grass-fed beef tends to be lower in total fat and higher in healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which have been linked to various health benefits including reduced inflammation and improved heart health.
Higher Vitamins: It contains higher levels of vitamins A and E, along with antioxidants, which are beneficial for maintaining good health.
Ethical and Environmental Impact: Grass-fed cattle are typically raised in more humane conditions and their farming is often more sustainable, reducing the environmental footprint.
Our Charred Steak is one of our most popular items, and it’s not hard to see why. Paired perfectly with our Chimichurri and Potatoes, it’s the perfect balance of flavours. Using Grass Fed Organic Beef allows us to offer the highest quality product we can, ensuring you get exactly what you’re looking for.
