All game meat lovers know that it is the lowest in fat. This is why it is suitable for consumption during diets.

Game meat is similar in structure to that of poultry. It is characterised by a darker colour and differs from other meats in chemical composition. Game meat is very rich in iron and nutrients such as vitamin E, beta carotene and selenium. It protects the cells in the body from damage. The meat also contains a large amount of protein, vitamins - B1, B2, B12 and mineral salts, calcium and copper.

Game meat - natural and hormone-free

The wild animals are fed from forests, farms and hunting areas, making their food natural. They are not domesticated and therefore there are no hormones added to it. This is the reason why their meat has this characteristic taste. Often during a diet, some of the meats are forbidden. They can be replaced with game meat. We will give the example of venison - it is high in protein and is suitable for a high-protein diet.

Which wild meat can we prepare for our table?
