Ginger, Squash, and Rainbow Chard Grass-Fed Bison

This paleo dish is versatile and great for entertaining. Ground grass-fed bison is extremely tasty, and a very lean meat. It’s sweet and tender in taste too! Bison is a highly nutrient dense food because of the proportion of protein and minerals in relation to its caloric value – says Dr. Mercola from mercola.com. (a great source of information btw!).

1 pound Bison = about 96 or more grams of protein

Bison is an overall better choice than any other grass-fed meat – including chicken and turkey – which are misconceived as the leanest meats. It has a greater concentration of iron as well as some essential fatty acids necessary for human health. Check out the chart below: (from mercola.com):
