Health Benefits of Wagyu

Wagyu produces the highest quality beef in the world.  It is more highly marbeled and more tender than other breeds of beef cattle. Due to the low melting point of fat, it literally melts in your mouth.  Wagyu beef is also more healthy than beef from other breeds of cattle due to a higher ratio of monounsaturated fatty acid as compared to saturated fatty acid. Consumer demand for Wagyu beef is because of its marbling and high percentage of oleaginous unsaturated fat.  It contains high percentages of 'good' cholesterol and can be a necessary part of a good well balanced diet.

Wagyu beef commands high prices because of the high quality of the meat and its marbling.  Wagyu cattle’s unique genetics gives the beef a higher percentage of omega-e and omega-6 fatty acids than other beef.  The result is higher prices and higher quality beef than available in other breeds of cattle.
