Ground bison is a lean and nutrient-dense meat derived from American bison, known for its rich history in indigenous cuisine and growing popularity in modern diets. With a mild, slightly sweet flavor, it's a versatile protein that fits seamlessly into recipes from chili to burgers and meatballs. Ground bison is an excellent source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy metabolism. It’s significantly lower in fat and calories compared to ground beef, making it a healthier red meat alternative for weight management and heart health. Additionally, its lower saturated fat content means it may have less impact on cholesterol levels. However, it's still important to enjoy ground bison in moderation and pair it with balanced meals rich in vegetables and whole grains. Look for grass-fed or sustainably sourced options to maximize nutritional value and support eco-friendly practices.
