Today, health conscious Americans have a better choice
~ a red meat source that is high in protein, vitamins and
minerals, and great tasting, yet is low in fat, cholesterol and calories. Buffalo meat is non allergenic, probably due to the fact that no growth hormones or antibiotics are used on these animals.
The "North American Buffalo" is making its way to the dinner plate of consumers.
We will refer to buffalo meat as both "buffalo" and "bison" throughout this site. The
benefits of bison meat lie in the basic nature and biological attributes
of bison. Biologically, bison do not marble (put fat in the muscle). The
result is more meat (protein) and less fat (calories) per pound. Research
data on bison meat makes this animal even more impressive. The table below
shows a comparison of bison with other various domestic meats in several
nutritional categories.
