Beef

Beef is a type of meat that comes from cattle. It is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Beef is one of the best sources of iron, which is essential for the body to make red blood cells. It is also a good source of vitamin B12, which is important for nerve function and DNA synthesis. However, beef can be high in saturated fat, which can raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease if consumed in excess. When cooking with beef as an ingredient, it's important to choose lean cuts and to limit the amount of added fats or oils.
