Like many of you, I’m a bargainista—or at least I try. I have always said that the driving force for me nowadays to shop for discounts and clip coupons is so that I could use the money I save and put it towards buying “better” meat for my family. After reading so much about food recalls and watching Food Inc., it’s a fact that, as parents, we have to be cognizant of what’s going on with our food and how we feed our families. And for me, it’s one of my priorities to overhaul how I shop for groceries all together.
On that end, I recently had the chance to taste a sampler of Bison meat from High Plains Bison. If you’ve ever had bison, then you know that its taste is distinctively different from beef and has less fat. (You can see the marbling in the bison ribeyes below.)
Doing some research for this post, according to Bison Basics, grass-fed bison has less calories and more protein than lean beef, turkey and pork. And according to High Plains Bison, while bison may not be considered health food, it is healthier. Bison is low in cholesterol, low in sodium, a good source of iron and also contains a healthy dose of Omega 3 fatty acids too.
