Studies show bison blend beef has great taste, flavor and juiciness.It is lower in bad cholesterol, low in fat and high in protein.Much higher in Omega-3 fatty acids (even as much as wild salmon)
and has a healthy ratio of Omega-3 to Omega 6 fatty acids (a big problem with supermarket meat). It is also much higher in conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA), proven to build muscle, reduce body fat, and induce an optimum cellular environment for improved health.

as a chicken breast and a better Omega-3 profile.
