Bison Meatballs with Pineapple

By on

Pineapple_meatballs-web

Bison meatballs are easy to make and so healthy. Bison is a healthy meat and tastes just like lean cuts of beef but is much lower in fat content than regular beef and contains fewer calories. It is an excellent protein and is rich in B vitamins, such as B2, and niacin. It contains selenium, iron and zinc which supports a healthy immune system. Bison is raised on pasture within their herd instead of being cooped up in barns. They are grass fed so they contain less fat, which is of great benefit for anyone. Look for bison meat at your local butcher shop. For more information on bison click here

Because of it’s low fat content overcooking is not advised as it can become dry and tough. If you are cooking a bison steak cook to medium rare if you want a tender meat.

Slow cooking is excellent for bison and this pineapple meatball dish is especially tender and delicious.
