Our beef shawarma is made with thinly sliced beef and is marinated and cooked slowly in its own broth, then paired with garlic, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and tahini in a delicious wrap that is both health conscious and great tasting.

Our beef comes from cows that are grass fed, which means these cows are much healthier. Most cows used for their beef are fed corn even though they are not able to digest it properly. Cows are fed corn to make them as beefy as quickly and cheaply as possible. Although corn gives cows more fat (more meat to be cut and sold), it is all saturated fat and cannot be cut off from the meat like grass fed cows.  The grass fed cow is lower in fat and artery clogging saturated fat and provides omega-3 fats.  It also has three times more Vitamin E than corn fed cattle and is a lot higher in conjugated linoleic acid (shown to lower cancer risk).  Lastly, grass fed cows are treated more humanely that corn fed cows. They are housed differently and live better lives than the less fortunate cattle in other factory farms.

Aside from the health benefits from our beef, there are vegetables that give you vitamins and nutrients as well. Tahini, for example, although a sesame paste, is packed with amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.  It is richer in protein than milk, yogurt, cashews, hazel nuts, sunflowers, wheat germ, and legumes. Tomatoes promote prostate health, as well as proper colon and pancreatic functioning. The other vegetables included in this meal are sure to have great health benefits as well as taste wonderful altogether!
