American Bison: Nature’s Original Protein
When it comes to choosing a lean, nutrient-dense protein, few options rival American bison. Once roaming the Great Plains in massive herds, bison have long been a source of sustainable protein. Today, bison meat is making a powerful comeback as a clean, sustainable, and health-forward alternative to conventional red meats.
Why Bison Meat Is Better for Your Body
Bison meat is naturally lean, typically containing less fat and fewer calories than beef, pork, or even skinless chicken. A 100-gram serving of cooked bison contains:
-
103 calories
-
1.9 grams of fat
-
21 grams of protein
-
2.8 mg of iron (more than beef)
-
49 mg of cholesterol (lower than beef or pork)
What sets bison apart is its impressive nutrient profile. It's rich in iron, zinc, selenium, and vitamin B12—all crucial for energy metabolism, immune function, and overall vitality.
Backed by Research
A study published in Nutrition Research (2013) found that participants who consumed bison regularly had lower levels of inflammation and improved lipid panels compared to those eating beef. Another study in the Journal of Animal Science noted that bison meat contributes to heart health due to its favorable fatty acid composition, including higher omega-3s and lower saturated fat.
The Clean Protein Choice
Because our bison are raised without added hormones or antibiotics and graze on open pastures, their meat is not only more natural—it's also more traceable and sustainable. For those with sensitivities or looking to avoid highly processed meats, bison is a pure, whole-food source of nourishment.
