Mince: Nutritional Powerhouse & Family Favourite
When it comes to family meals, finding nutritious options that are both delicious and budget-friendly can be a challenge. Mince, whether it’s lean beef or lamb, offers a perfect solution for several reasons:
- Rich in protein – mince provides high quality protein, important for building muscles, repairing tissues, and supporting overall health.
- Super versatile – from Bolognese to tacos, cottage pie, and meatballs, mince can adapt to a variety of cuisines and flavours. This makes it easy to keep meals exciting and cater to different tastes within the family.
- Easy to cook – mince is quick to cook, offering a speedy option for those busy weeknights. Check out our easiest chilli con carne.
- Affordable and accessible – mince is often more affordable than whole cuts of meat and can be cooked in bulk, frozen, and reheated, offering a budget-friendly option to feed the family.
- Nutrient-rich – in addition to protein, mince also provides a range of vitamins and minerals including iron, zinc, and B vitamins, important for energy production, immune function, and overall health.
