About Bear, polar, meat, raw (Alaska Native)
This lean, protein-rich meat comes from a large Arctic mammal and is traditionally consumed by indigenous communities in Alaska. With nearly 26 grams of protein per 100-gram serving and only 130 calories, it offers a nutrient-dense option for those seeking high-protein, low-carbohydrate foods. The fat content is relatively low at 3.1 grams per serving, and it contains no carbohydrates or fiber, making it suitable for ketogenic or other low-carb dietary patterns. However, like many wild game meats, it may carry risks of trichinosis or other parasites if not properly handled and cooked, so safe preparation is essential.
In traditional Alaskan Native cuisine, this meat is often boiled, dried, or smoked to preserve it for long periods in harsh climates. It can be used in hearty stews, soups, or simply roasted, and its mild, slightly sweet flavor pairs well with foraged herbs and berries. Because of its low fat content, it can dry out quickly during cooking, so moist-heat methods or careful roasting are recommended. For those outside indigenous communities, sourcing may be limited due to conservation laws and ethical considerations surrounding the hunting of this species.
