About Bison

Bison is a highly nutritious red meat known for its lean profile and rich flavor. Originating from North America, bison has been a staple in Indigenous diets for centuries and is now popular in modern cuisines for its health benefits. It's packed with protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, making it a great choice for muscle development, energy production, and overall health. Compared to beef, bison is lower in fat and calories, with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and a better fat-to-protein ratio. Its low cholesterol and saturated fat content make it a heart-friendly option. However, like any red meat, moderation is key to balancing overall dietary fat intake. Bison is versatile and can be used in burgers, stews, or grilled dishes, offering a nutrient-dense alternative to traditional red meats with a robust, slightly sweet taste.
