What Is Corned Beef? Corned Beef is a traditional Irish American dish that gained popularity among immigrants in the mid-to-late 1800's. In fact, corned beef, potatoes, and cabbage was on the menu for President Abraham Lincoln's inaugural luncheon. The British actually coined the term "corned beef" referring to the salt crystals used for curing. The salt crystals were said to be as big as corn kernals. Apparently, so much salt was used in those times, it was often difficult to taste the beef. US Wellness still has corned beef briskets and flat irons available this week but don't wait too long. Unlike most you'll find elsewhere, our corned beef has no added nitrites or nitrates, no MSG, and no dairy. The brine we use to cure our 100% grass-fed beef briskets is all-natural. Ingredients: beef, water, sea salt, garlic powder, nutmeg, coriander, citric acid, natural spices (clove, cinnamon, allspice). Slow roast these or cook in an instant pressure cooker for a savory classic. Corned beef is still extremely popular here in the U.S., but it hasn't caught on in Ireland even after all these years. Beef was considered too expensive in Ireland so they ate a lot of pork and lamb for their protein. Even when farmers in Ireland began raising beef cattle, most of it was exported to Britain. So, whether you prefer salted pork, lamb, or corned beef with your St. Patrick's Day celebrations, lift a toast of green ale...or green veggie smoothie, and savor the flavors of an Irish Spring.
