Buffalo meat

Buffalo meat is a type of red meat that comes from the buffalo, an animal belonging to the bovid family, similar to a cow but with greater resistance and adaptability to different climates. This meat is highly valued in various regions for its intense flavor, tender texture, and nutritional properties.

The origin of buffalo meat is primarily in Asia and America, where it has historically been raised for food production and labor. In countries such as Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and others in Latin America, the raising of buffalo for consumption has been increasing due to the demand for healthier and more sustainable meats.

Regarding its properties, buffalo meat is recognized for being lean, with less fat and cholesterol than common beef. It is rich in high-quality proteins, iron, zinc, and B-complex vitamins, making it an excellent choice for balanced and healthy diets.

In Hispanic America, buffalo meat may also be known as "carabao meat" (especially in regions with Filipino influence), "water buffalo meat", or simply "buffalo" when discussed in culinary terms.

In cooking recipes, buffalo meat is used in stews, casseroles, burgers, and grilled cuts, offering a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional beef.
