Why Eat Bison?

It tastes great!  Most feel bison is the most flavorful meat they have ever tasted with a sweeter and richer flavor than beef.  It is not "gamey" or wild tasting.  Bison meat is just naturally flavorful and tender.  It tastes great by itself and will enhance your favorite recipe.

On a cost comparison, bison falls into the gourmet category at your supermarket or meat market.  The value of bison is not what you pay , but what you get in return.  Nutritionally, you are getting more - more protein, more nutrients, for less - less fat, less calories, less cholesterol.  A value that you can figure into your budget for a balanced, healthy diet.

A long time ago the Indians and frontiersmen who ate mostly bison had endurance, agility and stamina.  Research is currently being collected on bison to help us better understand the reasons for this.  Due to their independent natures, bison are handled as little as possible.  They spend their lives on grass, much as they always have, and very little time in the feedlot.  Because of this, there is no need for artificial growth stimulants or sub-therapeutic use of antibiotics.

Comparisons of the nutritional values of bison have shown that bison meat is low in fat and calories and high in protein and nutrients.  In short, with bison you are paying for a red meat source that is high in protein, low in fat, low in calories - a red meat that fits into the federal government's dietary recommendations and allows you to enjoy more by eating less!
