Corned beef isn’t something we can only enjoy during St. Patrick’s Day. It’s a brisket with lots of versatility for any time of the year. Try swapping your chuck roast once in awhile with a Brisket for a little variety in you week. Add some potatoes, carrots, and cabbage and you have an inexpensive, simple to prepare, family meal night.

US Wellness Corned Beef Brisket is nitrate / nitrite free. We use a clean brine from our special, in-house, all-natural recipe. Most grocery store corned beef contains added nitrates / nitrites as a preservative that give corned beef a bright pink coloring. Ingredients: beef, water, sea salt, garlic powder, nutmeg, coriander, citric acid, pickling spice (natural spices: clove, cinnamon, allspice).
