About Game meat, beaver, cooked, roasted
Beaver has a long history as a wild game meat, especially among Indigenous peoples of North America and Northern Eurasia and among trappers, for whom it was once both food and fur. The dark red meat is rich, lean, and fine-grained, with a deep, savory, slightly sweet flavor that comes from the animal's strictly vegetarian diet of bark, leaves, and aquatic plants. As a lean wild meat, beaver is a good source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, with little fat.
It is traditionally slow-braised, stewed, or roasted, where gentle low and slow cooking turns it tender, and it is also ground for sausages or smoked. The fatty tail was historically prized as a delicacy rendered for its fat. As with all wild game, beaver should be handled cleanly and cooked thoroughly. Choose deep-red, firm meat, and keep it well chilled, cooking it promptly or freezing it.
