Polish beef is one of the most nutritious meat types in terms of its nutritive composition and content of exogenous substances - those that can not be produced by our organism.
It is characterized by high content of well absorbable protein and medium fat content. It is also a source of vitamin B12, which supports muscle oxygenation and, by taking part in the process of creating red blood cells, prevents us from anemia.
In addition, it contains vitamins B1 and B6, which are involved in the synthesis of the protein necessary for building up muscles. Good quality beef is tender, juicy and tasty.
