Why Bison?

TASTE
Whether you call it Bison or American Buffalo, it all sums up to a wonderful dining experience - Bison tastes great! Most people interviewed feel it is the most flavorful and tender meat they have ever eaten. It has a sweeter and richer flavor than other red meats and is the most healthful meat available anywhere. (See the chart below for a comparison.)

VALUE
Bison meat provides more protein and nutrients with fewer calories and less fat. Bison is a dense meat that tends to satisfy more while eating less. When cooking buffalo meat, their is significantly less shrinkage due to the low fat content resulting in more usable end finished product.

HEALTH BENEFITS
Buffalo meat has as much calcium as a 6 oz. glass of milk; as much potassium as a medium banana; and contains vitamins B6 and B12. According to most health authorities, it is the best meat that one can eat for good cardiovascular health and is the red meat source for today's informed, health-conscious consumer.

NUTRITION
Research by Dr. M. Marchello at North Dakota State University has shown that the meat from Bison is a highly nutrient dense food because of the proportion of protein, fat, mineral, and fatty acids to its caloric 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 American Heart Association concurs by including Bison in their lean meat dietary guidelines.
