Expect More from Meatloaf Monday: Organic, Tasty and Healthy Red Meat

Food shoppers across America continue to buy into the same old traditional three-meat combo: beef, pork and chicken. What makes us continue to consume these high cholesterol, hormone and antibiotics overloaded, and low in protein meats, week after week? Some say that the lack of alternatives is the main reason. However, healthy and tasty alternatives are out there, just maybe not in our supermarkets.

Northfork Bison, a North-American leader in bison meat distribution, has now opened a new distribution center in New Jersey that will service the entire Eastern US territory. Now, if you are thinking that bison meat is just not for you, think again. Bison meat is deliciously healthy and, at Northfork Bison, it is completely natural and organic. What’s more is Northfork Bison offers a top-quality guarantee on their meat and their service is unparalleled.

Healthy red meat – can it be?

The numbers are appetizing. Bison meat is more nutritional and contains far less fat, cholesterol, and calories than its popular alternates beef, pork, and chicken. For example, on a 100g serving, bison meat holds 143 calories and 2.42g of fat. Compared to beef (211 calories and 9.28g of fat), pork (212 calories and 9.66g of fat), and chicken (190 calories and 7.41g of fat), bison meat is a much healthier choice. It is also an excellent source of all the good stuff our body needs, such as iron (containing 69% more iron per serving than beef), essential fatty acids (Omega 3 and 6), and vitamin B6 and B12, to name a few. As a bonus, its high protein content and the amino-acids available in this fine meat help strengthen connective tissue, which means it keeps you looking younger! Can your freezer section rack of ribs do all that for you?

The East Coast can now reap the benefits of this precious meat with the opening of the Northfork Bison New Jersey distribution center.

Much more than just organic!

Much of the meat available at your local supermarket comes from animals raised in factories. Because these animals live in terrible conditions, they are given a large amount of antibiotics to kill infections that would make you and your family sick. Northfork bison on the other hand are raised in a natural and clean environment exempt of pesticides. They are fed grass and are free to wander on large open stretches of clean land. They are raised naturally and are given absolutely no hormones or antibiotics.

Additionally, the folks at Northfork want to ensure that the same care that is placed in raising their bison is also placed in every step of processing, including transportation and packaging. This is why they decided to open the New Jersey distribution center. This center will allow for quick and efficient delivery of top quality meat to households throughout the Eastern US region.

Bison is a tasty culinary experience

Similar to the taste of beef but with a coarser texture and a sweeter flavor, bison meat is delicious. Bison cuts are identical to beef, however bison meat is a deeper red as it is a much leaner meat. Less fat means less cooking time and much less shrinkage during cooking – this means that you get more value for your money.

The Northfork New Jersey center will distribute a large variety bison meat cuts. From roasts and ground meats, to brochettes, sausages and even salami, the meal choices are endless. Turning to bison meat will not prevent you from making your favorite recipes, but rather make them a whole lot tastier!

More than just Bison

Aside from providing top-quality bison, Northfork also offers other types of non-traditional meats that, like bison, offer great nutritional values. Amongst them are elk, wild boar, and ostrich meat.

Using elk in your favorite red meat recipes will be an easy task. Preparation is also effortless, as this type of meat cooks faster than most. Elk meat is very flavorful without being tangy. Wild boar meat is another meat worthy of mention. Unlike its cousin the pig, the wild boar’s meat is lean, low in fat and cholesterol but high in iron and protein. Its taste is rich and nutty, and pairing it with a red wine is a delight! Finally, if you are looking for a healthier version of premium beef, look no further. Ostrich is very low in calories, cholesterol and fat. Contrarily to popular assumptions, ostrich meat is red, as ostriches are not birds. Most compare its taste to premium beef or veal, but with higher protein, iron and other nutritional values. Ostriches are such strong animals that their meat does not attract bacteria such as E.coli or salmonella.

Northfork meats all come from animals that are free and exempt of hormones, antibiotics or other chemicals and additives. All you get is a great quality meat with exceptional nutritional values.
