What are the Nutritional Aspects of Angus Beef Brisket?

The USDA has categorized flat cuts of beef brisket to be a lean beef. A serving size is generally three ounces and contains 28 grams of protein. Beef brisket is a complete protein, and contains all of the essential amino acids. It can also be a significant source of B vitamins. A serving size of beef can contain up to 37% off the daily recommended amount of vitamin B12. It's also a good source of zinc, phosphorus and iron.

How Does the USDA Grade Beef?

Beef is placed into eight categories by the USDA. However, only three of those are typically found on the grocery store shelves. These categories are USDA Prime, USDA Choice and USDA Select.

Choice is the second highest of the beef grades. While there isn't as much marbling as Prime brisket, Choice is still good quality at an economical price. Plus, it'll be juicy and flavorful.
