Ground buffalo meat

Ground buffalo meat is a versatile and nutritious ingredient used in various recipes, especially in dishes that require a touch of intense flavor and a leaner texture than traditional beef. Sourced from the buffalo, a farm animal raised primarily in North America and Asia, this meat is notable for its low fat content and high protein value, making it a healthy alternative for those seeking options other than beef.

The origin of buffalo meat is mainly found in the United States and Canada, where raising buffalo for human consumption has gained popularity due to its nutritional benefits and distinctive flavor, which is slightly sweeter and earthier than beef. In some regions of Latin America, although less common, this meat is also used in local cuisine.

Among its properties, it stands out for its low saturated fat content, high iron and vitamin B12 content, as well as a good amount of high-quality protein, making it ideal for balanced and nutritious diets.

Regarding synonyms in Spanish from Latin America, ground buffalo meat may also be referred to as carne picada de búfalo or simply carne de búfalo molida. In some countries, the term ground bison meat may be used interchangeably, although it technically corresponds to another closely related species.

This ingredient is excellent for preparing burgers, meatballs, sauces, and stews, providing a unique flavor and a healthier option compared to conventional ground meat.
