% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

There are 13 essential vitamins required for the body to work properly, which are categorised into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Vitamins have a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), provided by the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), which vary by age and sex. The %DV indicates how much one serving contributes to the average recommended daily intake.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Minced beef, particularly lean ground beef, is a nutrient-dense food that provides highly bioavailable heme iron, which observational evidence suggests can improve iron levels and combat fatigue and weakness, according to Prevention. Clinical evidence from PubMed also shows that rinsing cooked ground beef crumbles effectively reduces fat content while retaining essential nutrients such as protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B-12, though it may alter flavor and texture. Furthermore, ground beef can be safely processed to inactivate pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes, as noted by USDA ARS, through methods such as optimizing nisin and sodium chloride in sous-vide processing.

Source: Prevention, 2026
Summary: Lean ground beef is a nutrient-dense food rich in vitamins and minerals, offering highly bioavailable heme iron that can improve iron levels and combat fatigue.
2. Optimizing Nisin and Nacl for Listeria Inactivation in Sous-Vide Ground Beef With Chipotle Sauce
Source: USDA ARS
Summary: Nisin and sodium chloride can be optimized to thermally inactivate Listeria monocytogenes in ground beef prepared with chipotle sauce during sous-vide processing.

3. Nutrient Composition and Sensory Attributes of Cooked Ground Beef: Effects of Fat Content, Cooking Method, and Water Rinsing.
Source: PubMed
Summary: Rinsing cooked ground beef crumbles with warm water effectively reduces fat content and increases moisture without substantial losses of essential nutrients such as protein, iron, zinc, or vitamin B-12.
