Westminster, Colo., May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With American beef demand surging, Niman Ranch<\/a> is giving “the most important meal of the day” a major promotion with the debut of its 100% Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished Beef Bacon<\/strong>. The bacon is now available at Whole Foods Markets across the South, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions.<\/p>\n

As 2026 becomes the year of “Purposeful Protein,” shoppers are increasingly looking for savory, nutrient-dense breakfast options. Niman Ranch is meeting this shift by utilizing the premium beef navel\u2014a cut prized by chefs for its rich marbling\u2014to create a pit-smoked, dry-rubbed bacon that offers an exciting new option for the protein-conscious cook, swapping the usual breakfast basics for the rich, complex profile of 100% grass-finished beef.<\/p>\n

“By using the navel, the beef equivalent of pork belly, we\u2019ve achieved that elusive balance of melt-in-your-mouth fat and satisfying chew that bacon lovers crave,\u201d shared Chef Andrew Hunter, Niman Ranch\u2019s executive chef. While it shines alongside eggs, Chef Hunter explains that this beef bacon is designed for all-day versatility. It is perfect for topping a Niman Ranch burger, wrapping dates or adding a smoky bite to a salad. This bacon is ready in minutes whether sizzled up in a skillet, oven-baked or air-fried.<\/p>\n
