About Beef, ground, 85% lean meat / 15% fat, raw (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)
In its uncooked state, 85 percent lean ground beef contains more water and less concentrated protein than any cooked form, with 65.7 percent water and 18.6 grams of protein per 100 grams. Energy is 215 calories and fat 15 grams, including 5.72 grams of saturated fat, with cholesterol at 68 milligrams. Cooking later drives off moisture and raises the protein and calorie figures, so the raw values serve as the pre-cooking baseline. Minerals include 295 milligrams of potassium and 171 milligrams of phosphorus, with vitamin B12 at 2.17 micrograms and niacin at 4.65 milligrams. The higher moisture and lower protein density are the expected signatures of the meat before heat is applied.
