Hamburgers made with meat from the American bison From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buffalo burgers are hamburgers made with meat from the water buffalo, beefalo or American bison (Bison bison).[1]
Author Dan O'Brien said that buffalo meat is sweet and tender and has a unique taste. He also said that it has to be prepared as carefully as fresh fish.[2] The magazine Women's Health said that the taste of beef burgers and buffalo burgers is almost indistinguishable, but that buffalo burgers are a bit sweeter and more tender. It normally costs more than beef.[3]
Buffalo burgers have less cholesterol, less fat, and less food energy than burgers made from beef or chicken. The American Heart Association recommended buffalo burgers in 1997 as more heart-healthy than chicken or beef.[4] The burger is high in nutrients such as protein, zinc, and vitamin B12.[3] Buffalo burgers are more healthy than beef because bison do not store as much fat as cattle. An 85-gram (3-ounce) serving of buffalo meat has 390 kilojoules (93 kilocalories) and 1.8 g of fat compared to 770 kJ (183 kcal) and 8.7 g of fat in the same serving as beef.[5] A recipe for simple buffalo burgers was listed in Men's Health Muscle Chow.[6] The magazine EatingWell came up with a buffalo burger recipe that is low in cholesterol and high in calcium.[7]
