Bison Meat is Nutritious! It is so nutritious that Reader's Digest ranked it as one of the five foods that women should eat in order to stay healthy! Excerpt from "5 Foods Men Need Most, 5 Women Need Most" By Maureen Callahan Reader's Digest 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.
