The Benefits of Bison Meat

Buffalo (bison) is a gourmet or specialty meat - a healthy alternative. Nutritionally, you get more protein and nutrients with fewer calories and less fat. Research has shown that the meat from bison is highly nutrient dense because of the proportion of protein, fat, minerals, and fatty acids to coloric value. Comparisons to other meat sources have also shown that bison has a greater concentration of iron as well as some of the essential fatty acids necessary for human well being. The nutritional value of buffalo meat is one of many reasons The American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, and the American Deitetic Association all endorse the consumption of buffalo meat as part of healthy, low-fat, low-cholestrol diets.

What about the taste? Bison is good for you and tastes great, too! Most people interviewed feel it is the most flavorful meat they have ever tasted. Bison is naturally flavorful and tender. It can be prepared much the same as beef with no special handling.
