About Caribou
Caribou, also known as reindeer in Europe, is a wild game meat popular in northern regions like Canada, Alaska, and Scandinavia. It has a distinct, mildly sweet flavor and is prized for its lean protein content, making it a nutritious choice for those seeking a high-protein, low-fat option. Caribou is rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support energy production and immunity. Its omega-3 fatty acid content is higher than that of most red meats, providing heart-health benefits. However, being wild-sourced, caribou meat is often lower in cholesterol and saturated fat compared to conventional livestock. Traditionally used in Indigenous cuisine, caribou is versatile, appearing in stews, roasts, and smoked preparations. Nutritional profiles may vary, so moderation is key, especially for sodium levels in preserved forms. When sustainably sourced, caribou offers a wholesome and eco-friendly protein choice.
