Why is chicken fat white?

The yellow pigmentation in the skin of chickens is derived from xanthophyll, which naturally occurs in yellow corn. Chickens fed a high level of corn and corn gluten meal will have a naturally yellow colored skin. Chickens fed grains such as wheat, oats or barley that do not contain xanthophyll will not have yellow skin. High corn diet is usually the reason for the yellow fat color. Actually the grain based diet gives the white fat. The yellow fat come from a grass based diet. If you like free range eggs you will recognize the deep colour of the yolk in a layer that gets grass vs the pale of the grain fed layer in the store.

We raise our own poultry and i love to see the rich yellow fat when the birds have bee getting plenty of grass.

Witch is better Grass-fed vs Grain fed Beef?

WHICH is better: Grass-fed or Grain-fed Beef? Answer: it all depends on your taste buds and your health choices. Grass-fed beef is healthier than grain-fed because of higher vitamin and other nutrients in the meat, which is transferred from the nutrition quality of the grasses they ate. Grass-fed is slightly higher in omega-3's than grain-fed, or in other words, has a better balance of omega-3's and omega-6's than grain fed beef. Grass-fed is also leaner, less "juicier" and has a stronger beefy taste to it than grain-fed, which makes for cooking, baking or barbequing it different than the conventional grain-fed beef. All grass-fed beef comes from organic or natural producers, which means that there are no antibiotic residues nor excessive hormones in the meat, since cattle finished on grass are much healthier and do not need to have antibiotics put into their food to keep them "healthy" until they are ready to be slaughtered. The colour of the fat in grass-fed beef is different too, because of the caretonoids (sp??) in the leaves of the grasses make the fat a yellower colour. Caretonoids are found in all fruit and vegetables; it's just a chemical complex that makes the plants, fruits and vegetables the variety of colours they are. Yellow fat is healthier fat than white fat, because of the lower saturated fatty acids and higher unsaturated fats in that yellow fat, which is a common misconception by those who think that white fat "looks better" in their beef than yellow fat. Grain-fed beef is nearly the opposite of grass-fed, in all parts of the word. Grain fed is more popular, found in all conventional stores and fast food diners, and is more tender and juicier than wild meat or grass-fed beef. Some people prefer grain-fed beef because it is not as tough or wild-tasting as grass fed is; others prefer grass-fed because of the taste and the health benefits.
