Buffalo is a dense food, allowing you to feel more satisfied while eating less. It is also a higher nutrient food, proportionally the minerals and protein are high in comparison to calories and fat content. And yet it boasts a higher concentration of iron, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and other essential nutrients. Vitamin E has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer. The benefits of omega-3’s are known for helping regulate inflammation, and believed to help reduce heart disease and lower cholesterol. Buffalo meat is lower in fat and cholesterol than beef and richer in omega-3 than salmon. It is ranked as one of the top five foods to eat for iron replacement.
