Grill’d has teamed up with Sea Forest in a revolutionary step towards sustainability. The burger chain’s latest beef patty – Gamechanger – is made from Black Angus cattle that produce up to 67% fewer methane emissions than regular cattle. The secret? Seaweed. The cows’ feed is supplemented with Asparagopsis, a native Tasmanian seaweed that reduces the amount of methane the animals produce. The new beef has the same delicious flavour as regular Black Angus beef (no seaweed taste to be found!), but it’s much better for the planet. Change the game and upgrade your next Grill’d burger for only $1. Available now at 61 locations across Australia.
