| Farm raised venison has a
unique and delicate flavour. It is mild and delicious with no gamey
taste. From a health standpoint, it's better for you than most other
meats and poultry. Although it is red meat, it has about the same
calories, fat and cholesterol and protein as salmon and falls well
below the American Heart Association Guidelines for fat, cholesterol
and calories. |
