Description

Lean ground buffalo meat is a protein ingredient obtained from buffalo meat, known for its low fat content and high nutritional value. This meat is leaner than traditional beef, making it a healthy option for those looking to reduce saturated fat intake without giving up the flavor and texture of good ground meat.

Buffalo, also called water buffalo or carabao in some regions of Latin America, is an animal primarily raised in regions such as Mexico, Argentina, and parts of Central America. Its meat has been gaining popularity due to its nutritional benefits and versatility in gastronomy.

Among its properties, lean ground buffalo meat stands out for being rich in protein, iron, zinc, and B-complex vitamins, in addition to containing less cholesterol and calories compared to ground beef. This makes it ideal for low-fat recipes, such as meatballs, burgers, tacos, and stews, providing flavor and texture without sacrificing health.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, buffalo meat may also be known as lean buffalo meat, carabao ground meat, or simply ground buffalo meat.
