Red Meat Your Baby Can Safely Eat

14 minutes

#177: Red meat vs. white meat: what’s the difference when it comes to feeding your baby? In this episode we’re looking at some ideal cuts of red meat for baby-led weaning. From classification to nutrition and fat content, this episode explores your best bets when it comes to red meat and feeding babies.

Listen to this episode to learn:

How red meat and white meat differ because of the amount of myoglobin, a protein in blood that carries oxygen to the cells of the body

Red meats include livestock: beef, lamb, pork and veal. I’m covering my favorite cuts of each for BLW including:

Beef: brisket, chuck roast, beef style country ribs and ground beef

Lamb: leg of lamb (boneless or bone-in), shank and ground lamb

Pork: pork butt (aka Boston butt), pork shoulder, pork country style ribs and ground pork

Why pork sometimes gets called “the other white meat” but it’s technically red meat from a classification standpoint
