2F Akaushi Beef: Characteristics

2F Akaushi beef, as a Wagyu beef, is known for its extreme tenderness and almost sweet flavor that is distinctive to this type of beef.

The secret to the tenderness of Akaushi beef, and all Wagyu beef, is the distinctive and extensive marbling of the meat. Rather than occurring on the outside of the beef, this marbling occurs inside the cow’s muscle.

In order to maximize this marbling, the cows are fed a steady diet of hormone-free, antibiotic free food, including corn. This healthy diet turns the marbling white while improving the overall quality of the meat.

The result is a beautiful cut of meat that is rich in white fat and primed to become an indulgent, decadent, and flavorful steakhouse meal.

2F Akaushi Beef: A Healthy Beef

Incredible flavor and texture are integral to the 2F Akaushi experience, but this meat is also some of the healthiest beef on the market.

What makes 2F Akaushi beef a healthier and higher-quality choice for your steak meal? The hormone-free and antibiotic-free diet makes this meat free of any potential contaminants or undesirable products.

In addition, this beef has the highest concentration of monounsaturated fat than any other type of beef. As a result, this beef is easier on the heart and better for the body than other types of beef, all while tasting absolutely delicious.
