💡 What's interesting
Buffalo meat is naturally leaner than beef but the prime rib cut is one of its fattiest, creating a unique balance of flavor and nutrition. Culturally, it represents a modern revival of a historic North American protein, often marketed as a more sustainable and nutrient-dense alternative to traditional beef.
