However, in 2005, it was reported that miners in Madagascar dug up a gem weighing 1,182 pounds which has also been feted as the world's largest emerald. Of less contention is the largest known pearl which was found by a Filipino diver off the island of Palawan in 1934.
USDA Beef Grades. Beef is graded for quality by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) graders according to standards established by the USDA. Grades are based on the amount of marbling (flecks in fat within the lean) and the age of the animal.
Angus is a breed of cattle. It is not the overall quality of beef nor a specific grade of beef. Beef labeled as Angus can still be crappy even if it comes from Angus cattle. If you want Angus beef, look for the USDA grade not just something labeled Angus.ll Certified Angus Beef are made from Angus cattle, but not all Angus cattle are âCertified Angus Beef.â. That said, that doesnât automatically mean non-CAB Angus is inferior to CAB meat. A steak graded USDA Prime is already considered a high-quality steak.
