Game meat, bear, raw

Bear meat scores 73 of 100, a Good band result ranking 26th of 60 in Lamb, veal & game, just above that category's median of 72. It stands out for both protein, at 40% of the Daily Value, and iron, at 37%, an unusually high pairing for one food.

This is a dense, dark game meat that home cooks typically braise or slow-roast to tenderize, given its firmer texture compared with farmed meats; a one-ounce (28 g) reference portion carries 8.3 g of fat. No sodium or sugar values are recorded for this item, and no limits are flagged, though it remains a specialty meat rather than an everyday pantry staple for most kitchens.
