Bison on average costs a few dollars more per pound than traditional beef, but adds a lot more value. Bison has less saturated fat, more protein and exceedingly more vitamins like b12, Zinc and Selenium compared to beef. Unlike most beef, Bison are raised on grass instead of grain, which reduces their inflammatory omega 6 fatty acid profile and increases their meats anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3’s are the preferred fat in Salmon and are attributed to the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet. Not to mention Bison has a clean, hearty flavor, with a slight sweet undertone. It is not “gamey” or “grassy” as typically expected from exotic game meats.
