Beefalo meat not only tastes fantastic, it has better nutritional benefits than domestic beef. Beefalo is lower in cholesterol than even fish or chicken.
|
Not only does the USDA support this, we've had our own Beefalo meat tested for nutrition at an independent testing laboratory. The test came back that 3.5 ounces of our ground Beefalo had a cholesterol count of 37.6. Compare that with fish or chicken which has a cholesterol count of 60 and 70 for the same 3.5 ounces. Cooked Beefalo meat is flavorful and delicious. Gourmet magazine said that "Beefalo steak compares to Prime quality beef steak." Beefalo meat, the perfect choice for health conscious consumers, is high in protein, iron, potassium, zinc, and needed amino acids. Beefalo meat contains Vitamin C, an antioxidant vitamin, that is not found in most other meat products. Beefalo also is very low in fat. Perfect for a healthy diet, Beefalo is lower in cholesterol than even skinless chicken, turkey or many fish. See the chart below for specific comparisons. BEEFALO A Meat Lover's Dream, according to Jo Ellen Krumm, managing editor of Muscle & Fitness: The Science of Living Super-Fit.

| If
saturated fat and cholesterol have scared you away from regular
beef, with beefalo you can have your beef and your healthy physique
too.
Not only is beefalo lower in fat, cholesterol and calories than regular beef, but it also doesn't seem to raise low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels the way beef does. LDL-C is associated with atherosclerosis and an increased risk of coronary heart disease. Now for the key question: What's beefalo taste like? We sampled steaks, rib roast and ground meat and like all three (the steaks especially). Our beefalo tasted like lean beef, mostly tender but some sections were a little chewy, although nothing like certain lean cuts of regular beef, which can be tough. We couldn't discern any buffalo flavor in our steak and roast (although we wouldn't have minded since we like buffalo meat too). Plain ground beefalo tasted different from regular ground beef, but no difference was noted in the spicy dishes using ground beefalo. Our meat came from Bear Claw Cattle Co. of Dayton, Wyoming, where it was raised naturally on the open range, and fed only minimal amounts of grain. We're ready to run down to the supermarket and buy more - but beefalo isn't readily available in most supermarkets - yet. For now it's a specialty product available at limited outlets or by mail order. To find your nearest outlet, call Livestock Research and Innovation at (800) 683-6723 (from outside the United States, (307) 648-4608). As public demand for beefalo increases, we expect it to become more readily available. Cost varies, but at retail outlets it's 20-40% more than regular beef - comparable to other specially grown lean beef but cheaper than buffalo. Mail order prices could be lower or higher than retail. Although beefalo costs more, health-conscious meat lovers might feel it's worth it. |
