Bison, a lean, heart-healthy food

Nutritional research indicates that grass-fed bison is lower in fat and higher in essential vitamins and nutrients than many other meats, including grass-fed beef. Although those are excellent reasons for adding bison to your diet, the main reason we enjoy it is that it tastes great!

You can substitute bison for beef in any of your favorite recipes, or try some of the recipes here.

But remember that because bison is such a lean meat, it's easy to overcook. Slow and low are words to live by: cook bison slowly over low heat and you'll have great-tasting, tender bison.
