Deer meat, commonly known as venison, is a lean and nutrient-rich protein sourced from deer. Popular in cuisines worldwide, especially in European, Native American, and rustic fare, venison is prized for its rich, earthy flavor and versatility in dishes like roasts, stews, and steaks. Nutritionally, it is an excellent source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and red blood cell formation. Deer meat is low in fat, especially saturated fat, making it a heart-healthy choice compared to fattier red meats like beef or pork. It is also lower in calories, appealing to those managing their weight. However, it can be high in cholesterol, so moderation is key for individuals monitoring their cardiovascular health. Venison typically comes from wild or farmed game, offering a sustainable and environmentally conscious option for meat lovers.
