Benefits of Bison

Imagine a porterhouse-size steak sizzling right off the grill that has 25-30 percent fewer calories than ordinary beef and 50 percent less cholesterol than chicken and fish.  American buffalo, referred to by some as America's health food, is enticing health-conscious Americans back to enjoying red meat.

Taste
Bison tastes great!  Most people interviewed feel bison is the most flavorful meat they have every tasted, with a sweet and rich flavor.  Bison is naturally flavorful and tender and can be prepared much the same way as beef without special handling.  Bison tastes the way beef used to taste.

Value
Bison falls into the gourmet or specialty meat 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 protein and nutrients with fewer calorie and less fat.  Bison is a dense meat that tends to satisfy you more while eating less.
