New Zealand Venison is rich in iron and low in fat, making it an ideal meat to include as part of a balanced diet.
Venison is packed with many nutrients required for good health such as iron, zinc and a number of B vitamins including B12 -that’s why it is called a nutrient dense food.
Red meat is one of the best sources of easily absorbable iron. Venison contains more iron than any other meat, including more iron than Beef and Lamb.
