Good Fat

Omega - 3 and Omega - 6
Buffalo meat contains the "essential fatty acids", linolenic (omega - 3) and linolenic (omega - 6) fatty acids. These substances are necessary for us to eat but can not be made in our bodies and are thus, commonly lacking. Their function is to assist the formation of cell membranes, aiding in the production of hormone-like compounds, and participating in immune and visual processes. Omega 3 fatty acids have been shown to help fend off Alzheimer's disease and reduce the likelihood of heart attacks.

High Protein Source
Buffalo meat is a rich source of complete protein containing all the essential amino acids in appropriate amounts. Each serving contains about 22 grams of protein which is then used in the body to build and repair tissues, produce enzymes and some hormones, and maintain cell membranes and components of the immune system.

Rich in Vitamins and Minerals
Rich in Vitamin B12, Selenium, Zinc and Phosphorus, buffalo meat is also an excellent source of Iron, Vitamin B6 and Niacin, all of which are recommended daily.

High in Iron
Buffalo meat is a great natural source of bio-available iron. The high iron content in buffalo meat helps boost energy and increase endurance by improving the blood's capability to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from body cells.

Tastes Great
Our premium buffalo meat, also known as bison, is tender and tasty with a full, rich, dense flavor. It does not have the gamey taste of other wild meats.

More Satisfying
People frequently feel more satisfied with smaller portions of buffalo meat. This may be because it is a rich, dense meat, higher in protein, vitamins and minerals. Because you feel satisfied eating smaller amounts, you benefit by getting less fat, calories and cholesterol.

Non-allergenic
Bison are extremely hardy animals and get few illnesses. Because our bison are raised naturally, without artificial growth hormones, steroids, non therapeutic antibiotics or animal by-product feeds, drug residues do not reside in buffalo meat. As a result, buffalo meat is also non-allergenic, making it easier to digest by people with a red meat intolerance.
