Bison is an excellent red meat source, low in fat, high in protein, rich in flavor. Research conducted by Dr. M. Marchello, University of North Dakota, has shown that bison is a highly nutrient-dense food because of the proportion of protein, fat, minerals and fatty acids to its caloric value. Comparison of the nutritional values of bison has shown that bison meat is low in fat and calories and high in protein and nutrients. Studies also prove that bison has a greater concentration of iron as well as some of the essential fatty acids.
