I can definitely recall at least a few occasions when I’ve bought ground beef from the grocery store only to get it home, pull it out to cook, and notice it looks a little gray. This has always been cause for concern as we’re used to seeing fresh ground beef appear more of a bright red color. However, ground beef that looks gray isn’t always cause for concern. Read ahead to learn more before you throw that next package of ground beef in the garbage.
If you notice your package of ground beef looks gray in the middle, there’s likely no need to throw it out. Meat contains something called oxymyoglobin which when exposed to oxygen, produces that bright red color we’re used to seeing with ground beef. When a package of ground beef looks gray in color in the middle, it likely just means it hasn’t yet been exposed to oxygen.
However, if the outside of your ground beef appears gray or brown, or the majority of the meat looks to be that color, it’s better to be safe than sorry and toss that package in the garbage. Something else worth noting is that if the meat smells funky or off in any way, it’s likely gone bad and needs to be thrown out.
It’s always wise to be vigilant about the quality and freshness of any meat you purchase. Hopefully these simple tips will help you to determine when your ground beef is safe, and when it should definitely be tossed.
“Older Women Shouldn’t Wear Bikinis,” Demi Moore, 61, Divides Opinions With Her Latest Video
Demi Moore continues to prove that there’s no age limit to looking absolutely stunning in a bikini.
The 61-year-old actress shared a video of herself and her three daughters in bikinis, causing a stir on the internet. While many fans showered her with compliments, others were quick to voice their disapproval.
Moore appeared remarkably youthful at 61 as she accompanied her daughters Rumer, aged 35, Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 30, along with Rumer’s 1-year-old daughter, Louetta, in a charming vacation video. This delightful footage was complemented by the iconic tune “Burning Love” by Elvis Presley.
Upon sharing the video on her Instagram account, she received an outpouring of praise from fans, garnering over 240k likes to date.
People gushed over her fresh and glowing appearance. One fan wrote, “I wanna look like Demi when I get older, wow.” While another remarked, “She looks fantastic for 61. If I didn’t know, I’d have guessed her age to be half that.”
Despite Demi looking stunning, the internet was divided, and some online critics voiced disapproval of her choice of attire, suggesting she was too old to wear a bikini. A person remarked, “Older women shouldn’t wear bikinis […],” while another expressed their opinion, saying, “She smells of desperation, no need to show your need for validation.”
The debate surrounding older women wearing bikinis is nothing new. And several months back, a stunning woman faced criticism for donning a G-string at her age, but her response was absolutely fabulous. Take a look at it here.
