About Caribou, bone marrow, raw (Alaska Native)

Caribou, known as reindeer in Europe and Eurasia (Rangifer tarandus), is a member of the deer family whose lean red meat is a traditional staple for Arctic and northern peoples across North America, Scandinavia, and Siberia. The meat is deep red, fine-grained, and very lean, with a rich, clean, slightly sweet flavor and a mild gaminess that reflects the animal's wild diet of lichen and tundra plants.

As a lean game meat, caribou is an excellent source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, with little fat. It is enjoyed as steaks, roasts, stews, and sausages, dried into jerky, and is central to many Indigenous and Nordic dishes. Because it is so lean, it is best cooked quickly to rare or medium, or braised low and slow, since overcooking dries it out. Choose firm, deep-red meat, and keep it well chilled, cooking it promptly or freezing it.
