About Deer
Deer meat, commonly known as venison, is a lean and flavorful protein source enjoyed in many cuisines worldwide, especially in European, North American, and indigenous culinary traditions. Rich in essential nutrients, venison is high in protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, particularly vitamin B12, which aids in energy production and red blood cell formation. Its low fat content, particularly saturated fat, makes it a healthier alternative to beef or pork for those seeking heart-friendly options. Venison also contains omega-3 fatty acids, contributing to brain and heart health. While it is nutritionally dense, moderation is key, as it can be higher in cholesterol compared to some plant-based alternatives. Often sourced sustainably from wild populations, venison is favored for its distinct, earthy flavor and is featured in stews, roasts, sausages, and jerky across various culinary traditions.
