Venison: healthy red meat

As it’s such a lean meat, Venison is a fantastic alternative to other red meats as it is low in fat and calories – indeed some studies suggest that it is lower in fat and cholesterol than skinless chicken.

Venison has higher iron levels than other red meats and can be a valuable source of essential Omega 3 fatty acids.

Happily Venison is now more readily available than ever before, and can be found in supermarkets, farm shops and farmers market although of course I always recommend you buy your delicious Venison from your local deer farmer.

My book, The Venison Kitchen, contains lots of healthy recipes which I hope you enjoy.
