WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING BUFFALO?

Aug 02, 2018Jackson Hole Buffalo Meat Admin

There are many health benefits of eatingbuffalo. Rich in flavor, low in fat and high in protein, buffalo meat is an ideal substitute for beef in your favorite recipes. Bison meat is lower in calories and cholesterol than beef, pork, turkey, skinless chicken and even some fish! While bison tastes similar to high quality beef, it stands out for being slightly sweeter and more nutritionally dense than other types of red meat.

100% GRASS-FED

Grass-fed meat is naturally lower in fat and calories than grain fed meat and is an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids and CLA or “good fats.” These good fats help fight an array of diseases from heart disease to cancer. Our 100% grass-fed bison meat comes to you directly from our grassland pastures in Wyoming.

POWER-PACKED NUTRITION IN A DELICIOUS PACKAGE!

Buffalo meat contributes significantly more iron to your diet than beef, with higher levels of vitamins and minerals and twice as much Beta-carotene as strictly grain-fed meats. Because buffalo has very little fat and contains more protein than beef, it doesn’t shrink in cooking and it’s more satisfying to eat. Pound per pound, it’s a better value than many “cheaper” meats.
