Costco Shoppers Are Raving About These Grass-Fed Polish Sausages
If the thought of eating processed hot dogs filled with mystery meat makes your stomach feel a little queasy, then Costco has just the product for you. They have now partnered up with certified humane Teton Waters Ranch to sell their 100-percent all-beef, uncured Polish Sausages. Teton Waters Ranch promises all their products contain only 100-percent grass-fed beef, with no unappetizing surprise ingredients.
Denver-based Teton Waters Ranch has pledged to improve animal welfare by allowing their cattle to graze freely, and they are also committed to using regenerative agriculture to help reduce soil erosion, increase biodiversity, and improve the environment through sustainable ranching practices. Not only are their products better for the planet, they are also better for humans, too. They use only grass-fed beef and clean ingredients, and their products also contain no hormones, no antibiotics, and no MSG, per their website.
Grass-fed beef has even been shown to contain higher levels of Vitamins A and E, certain cancer-fighting antioxidants, and healthy omega-3 fatty acids compared to their grain-fed counterparts, according to Nutrition Journal. Each Polish Sausage contains 170 calories, with 9 grams of proteins. 14 grams of fat, and just one carb per serving.
The sausages were a hit on social media
Teton Waters Ranch's uncured Polish Sausages are spiced with a blend of garlic, coriander, marjoram, and ginger, and then lightly smoked for a rich, intense flavor, per the company. The sausages are also completely sugar-free, gluten-free, nitrate-free, and Whole 30 approved, a fact that social media users were quick to celebrate. Many Costco shoppers were excited to see a healthier brand of sausage available for purchase, like Instagram user @ali_josmom, who raved on social media: "These are so good #paleo #whole30."
The popular account @costcobuys made a whole Instagram post celebrating the arrival of Teton Waters Ranch's Polish Sausages on Costco's shelves, writing: "I'm loving this DELICIOUS @twrgrassfedbeef Polish Sausage, available now at @Costco ... you can really taste the high quality of these sausages! love these as a quick, quality weeknight meal! Be sure to grab some at Costco!" Follower @kagibson84 replied, "My favorites! Only hot dogs we buy!"
So if you've been trying to eat a little cleaner but don't want to sacrifice taste, or simply want to do your part to help the environment but aren't quite ready to cut out meat entirely, these sausages just might be the perfect addition to your diet.
