why bison?
Tastier than beef, higher in protein, lower in fat - bison is the new red meat!
Bison is naturally rich in flavor, incredibly tender, and can be used in any red-meat recipe. Bison meat is a nutrient-dense food due to the favorable proportion of protein, fat, minerals and fatty acids to its caloric value. It is much lower in fat and cholesterol than beef, chicken and even salmon. Containing more iron and Vitamin B-12 than beef, bison is also a friendly alternative to environmental impacts that cattle farming has on the land.
Dietitians, Cardiologists and the American Heart Association recommend bison as part of a healthy diet. High cholesterol and obesity are the major controllable risk factors for heart attack and stroke. The Indigenous Diabetes Education Alliance, which assists Diabetic Native Americans living on Indian reservations to make nutritional changes, has been raising bison for food as one of its main objectives. These and other nutritionists believe that a traditional diet, which includes bison, would reduce many of humankind's modern day diseases.
