Fat Adds to Flavor Of Choice Meat Cuts Since moet persons prefer lean meat it follows that the leas fat there is la ? cut?a roast let us say-the more eating it would provide A time back, specialists at the depart ment of agriculture looked Into this angle tor die benefit at butcher Shop customers. They toad beef sides which graded choice, good, commer cial, and utility lor their research. They divided these into three parts, namely, the separable lean, die sep arable fat, and the booes and liga ments. According to their findings, which were made known recently, the consumer would get about two pounds of separable lean meat; out of a tour pound standing rib roast of ths choice grade cut The com mercial grade roast, however, would yield about 214 pounds. In prewar days it is likely that the parts of the roast which were not lean meat often went into the garbage can. The conclusion from these figures is that ths homemaker gets more lean meat ?the part of the outstanding roast which her family eats?out of the commercial grade cut than from a choice grade roast at similar size. But the figures do not show that the fat makes the lean meat of the choice grade more tender and juicy.
