Flap Meat for Our Growing Children

Flap meat contains a higher amount of phosphorus, a component of bones, compared to other cuts, which helps promote bone and teeth formation. Consuming it during growth periods can aid bone health and development in children. Flap meat, located on the upper part of the cow’s front leg muscles, has a fan-like shape with fat and tendons densely embedded, giving it a rich juice and a texture that is both tender and chewy. It can be sliced thickly and grilled like a steak or thinly sliced for vegetable rolls or shabu-shabu, making it enjoyable for kids to eat.

Perfect for Women's Nutritional Supplement: Premium Tenderloin

Tenderloin, considered the finest cut among beef loin parts, is a lean meat with low fat content yet boasts tender texture and rich juices. It is rich in iron and zinc, which are beneficial for women. Iron, in particular, helps produce energy and boost immunity, and is especially helpful for women who menstruate or pregnant women in energy metabolism and enzyme production within the body. Tenderloin can be used in various dishes such as grilled steaks, chop steaks, and stews. Consuming it with vegetables rich in vitamin C can further enhance iron absorption in the body.

Protein-Rich Brisket for Middle-Aged and Older Men’s Health

For middle-aged and older adults who need to pay attention to muscle health, brisket is recommended due to its high protein and essential amino acid content. Protein is one of the essential nutrients for maintaining and strengthening muscle strength, and adequate protein intake combined with exercise is crucial for middle-aged individuals whose muscle generation slows down. Brisket, often used in soups and stews, contains connective tissues such as fascia that add a deep umami flavor to the broth. Additionally, beef raised on pasture contains less saturated and trans fats and more unsaturated fatty acids like omega-3 compared to grain-fed beef, which can also help improve memory.

Ko Hyuk-sang, head of the Australian Meat Corporation Korea branch, stated, “Beef is rich in various nutrients, so knowing the characteristics and benefits of each cut and consuming them appropriately allows you to enjoy it in a healthier way. Produced under strict quality control in the pristine Australian wilderness, Australian Pure Beef can be enjoyed with confidence. We hope you spend a nutritious family month with your loved ones.”
