Is 93/7 ground beef good for burgers?

It works but comes out drier than 80/20. For juicier burgers, mix in a little fat or keep them thin and cook them quickly.

How does it compare with 85/15 or 80/20?

It has less fat, so it browns with less grease and is leaner, but it is also less juicy and less flavorful on its own. Fattier grinds suit burgers; this one suits tacos, chili and sauces.

How much protein is in a serving?

The label lists 23g of protein per serving.

Is it all natural and inspected?

Yes. It is described as all natural and USDA inspected.

How should I cook it to keep it from drying out?

Brown it in a little oil, keep it moving, and add it to a sauce or seasoning rather than overcooking. It suits dishes with moisture like chili or casseroles.

It comes as a 1 lb roll of fresh ground beef.

Our take on the 93% Lean / 7% Fat Lean Ground Beef, 1 lb Roll, Fresh, All Natural*

This is fresh 93% lean, 7% fat ground beef sold in a 1 lb roll. It is all natural and USDA inspected, with 23g of protein per serving. The high lean ratio keeps fat and grease low, so it suits tacos, chili, casseroles and meat sauces where you want beef flavor without a heavy, oily result. Against 80/20 or 85/15 ground beef it is drier and less juicy, so it works best in saucy or seasoned dishes rather than plain burgers.
