Everything to know about bear meat
According to Primal Survivor, bear meat is both safe and palatable to eat if cooked correctly. The Outdoor Life revealed that people usually cook either spring black bears or fall black bears. The former is reportedly “excellent to eat” and does not carry much fat. On the contrary, the latter has a hefty layer of fat.
The Mayo Clinic has recommended cooking the meat of any wild animal “to an internal temperature of 160 F (71 C).”
The Primal Survivor website claimed that bear meat is a better option than beef as it contains less fat. It also reportedly stores high iron levels, low sodium, and good B12, zinc, and riboflavin levels.
