Why Eat Bison Meat!!!!!!!
First would be the Taste
Bison is the most flavorful meat in Today's market, with a sweeter and richer flavor than beef. Bison is naturally flavorful and tender and can be prepared much the same as beef.
The Value
Bison has been considered a gourmet or specialty meat category at your local supermarket or meat market. The value in bison is not what you pay, but what you get in return. Nutritionally you are getting more protein and nutrients with fewer calories and less fat. Bison is dense meat that tends to satisfy more while eating less.
Health
Bison are not subject to questionable drugs, chemicals or hormones. We feel so strongly about this that we joined the NBA (National Bison Association) resolution opposing the use of these substances in the production of bison meat.
Nutrition
Research has shown that the meat from bison is a highly nutrient dense food because of the proportion of protein, fat, minerals and fatty acids to its calorie value. Comparisons to other meat sources have also shown that bison has a great concentration of iron as well as some of the essential fatty acids necessary for human well being.
