In the Practical Living section of this issue, Robyn Webb, MS, LN, writes on bison:
"I recently
became a convert to this succulent meat. What I love most about
bison is its superstar nutritional qualities. It has
about 30 percent more protein and 25 percent less cholesterol than
beef. In a 31/2-oz. serving of cooked bison there are only three
grams of fat, compared with 14 grams in beef sirloin, and about
half the calories (120 vs. 210). Bison is great paired with other
indigenous American foods such as corn, tomatoes, and peppers."

"4. Buffalo Meat. Due largely to menstruation, women tend to be anemic more
than men. And low iron levels in blood can cause severe fatigue.
To get a good dose of iron, try bison. Bison, or buffalo,
meat is lean and has what diet-conscious women want - lots of iron
and less fat than most cuts of beef. 'The iron content is about
3 milligrams in a 3 1/2-ounce uncooked portion,' says Marty Marchello,
Ph.D., at North Dakota State University. 'That portion contains
less than 3 grams of fat.' Buffalo meat can help boost energy
and lower weight. And you don't have to have a home on the range
to get some bison anymore. You can pick it up at many supermarkets
across the United States, or through mail order or on the Internet." |
