Meat Eating Experience
We’re excited to launch the Meat Eating Experience — independent validation that the proof really is in the eating. The layers of nature, care and expertise are independently verified using digital technology to ensure, exceptional meat eating an experience.
Intra-muscular fat (IMF) levels are verified. In pasture-based livestock production systems, intra-muscular fat (IMF) is measured. IMF has a strong correlation with polyunsaturated fat including omega fatty acids. These are healthy fats which are good for nutrition. IMF is also a key driver of tenderness, juiciness and flavour in beef and lamb.
