Nori Furikake Wild Boar Stir Fry With Brussels Sprouts
In Japan, nori furikake is the go-to seasoning for just about anything - akin to how we use salt and pepper here in America. This earthy, salty seasoning is absolutely delicious and consists of dried seaweed, kelp, salt and nutty sesame seeds. You’ll love the flavor it gives your food and it’s especially tasty in stir fries. You can find nori furikake seasoning on the Asian cooking aisle of most grocery stores (it’s also readily available online). Our ground wild boar meat makes this stir fry rich and satisfying. Chopped brussels sprouts add vibrant green color and crunchy yet tender texture.

One Of The Most Sustainable Meats You Can Eat
Our Southwestern wild boar roam the forests, foraging their natural diet. They love to eat berries, nuts, roots and tubers which give their meat its unique and delectable flavor profile. They’re trapped under the supervision of specialized veterinarians and butchered by a small scale, species specific facility. Just like all of our products, we care about where this meat comes from. Wild boar are actually an invasive species to North America, and their population continues to grow. They ruin crops and disrupt the growth of endangered plants in forests by digging in the soil. When we eat humanely trapped wild boar meat it helps to protect our food supply and forest ecosystems.

Old World Butchery Is The Key To Delicious Wild Boar Meat
People are always asking us about the best ways to eat wild boar. If you’re used to eating pork, the nutty and delicious flavor of wild boar meat will blow your mind. It’s so much more flavorful and satisfying than conventional pork. Customers tell us all the time that they find themselves unable to go back to eating conventional pork after trying out this meat.
In addition to the unbeatable flavor, wild boar meat offers a multitude of health benefits that really outshine conventional pork. It’s lower in total fat and calories while offering more omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. We are big believers in the advantages of eating wild meat and the nutritional profile of wild boar is a perfect example of this. Our wild boar meat is unparalleled in flavor because we work with small-scale, species specific master butchers who know how to properly process this meat.
