If it is tenderloin, the iron content of beef is nearly three times that of pork.
As far as iron supplementation is concerned, there are some differences between the two kinds of meat. The iron content of lean meat in pig foreelbow is the highest (3.5g/ 100g). Among beef, tenderloin has the highest content.
Of course, people with high demand for iron supplementation can also eat liver 2 ~ 3 times a month.
Understand that about half of the iron they contain is heme iron with high absorption rate. Although it also contains non-heme iron, it also contains a "meat factor" that promotes the absorption of non-hemoglobin iron.
So to sum up, the iron absorption rate of the two kinds of meat is still very high, both of which can reach more than 20%, which is much higher than the absorption rate of plant foods such as spinach, fungus and black beans. Friends who want to supplement iron should remember to match every day.
In addition, red dates and brown sugar are not reliable. Iron in red dates and brown sugar is non-heme iron, and its absorption efficiency is usually lower than 10%.
Of course, we can't eat meat just to supplement iron. Let's see the difference between these two kinds of meat.
First of all, the energy and fat of beef are lower than that of pork, which are 74% and 37% respectively, but the content of protein is similar. This is really surprising. The most important purpose of eating meat is to obtain high-quality protein, but it is also to control energy and fat.
In order to control energy, the mouth often surrenders. Why? The higher the fat, the more delicious the food. Think of braised pork, braised pork with plum vegetables, Dongpo pork made of pork belly, and think of fat cattle washing hot pot.
But no matter how greedy you are, it is better to eat less fat in this kind of pork beef, so the fat in beef is lower than that in pork, which is really a great advantage.
How much to eat? Add up pork and beef, plus chickens, ducks and geese, 40 ~ 75 grams a day. If you mix 50 grams of beef, it is only the amount of 4 rolls of beef in hot pot.
