TASTE
People are rapidly discovering the deliciously healthy taste of bison
/ buffalo. Buffalo meat tastes similar to fine beef, with just a slightly
sweeter and richer flavor. Bison is naturally flavorful and tender
and can be prepared much the same as beef. Publications ranging from
Gourmet Magazine to the Old Farmers Almanac are heralding bison as
the meat of the future.
VALUE
Bison falls into the gourmet or specialty meat category at your supermarket
or meat market. Click here to find a local retailer. The value of
buffalo is not what you pay, but what you get in return. Nutritionally
you are getting more protein and nutrients with fewer calories and
less fat. Buffalo is a dense meat that tends to satisfy you more while
eating less.
HEALTH
Bison are handled as little as possible. They spend their lives on
grass, much as they always have, with very little time in the feedlot.
They are not subjected to questionable drugs, chemicals or hormones.
The members of the NBA feel so strongly about this that they have
a resolution opposing the use of these substances in the production
of Bison for meat.
WE STAND BEHIND OUR PRODUCT
The members of the National Bison Association are proud to introduce
"Certified American Buffalo" as a new seal that offers customers
an extra degree of confidence in the quality of bison meat products.
Every package containing the new Certified American Buffalo seal comes
from producers who adhere to a USDA-audited program to assure that
the products can be traced to the ranches of origin, and that animals
are never given growth hormones or fed low-levels of antibiotics or
animal byproducts.
NUTRITION
Research by Dr. M. Marchello at North Dakota State University has
shown that the meat from Bison is a highly nutrient dense food because
of the proportion of protein, fat, mineral, and fatty acids to its
caloric value. Comparisons to other meat sources have also shown that
Bison has a greater concentration of iron as well as some of the essential
fatty acids necessary for human well being. Readers' Digest magazine
has even listed bison as one of the five foods women should eat because
of the high iron content.
