About Caribou meat

Caribou meat is the edible flesh of caribou harvested in northern regions. It is typically dark red and relatively lean compared with many domestic meats, though the animal’s age, season, cut and condition affect appearance and texture. Its flavour is savoury and can vary with diet and handling.

It is eaten fresh and may also be dried, smoked, frozen or otherwise prepared according to local practice. Meat from different cuts and preparations should not be treated as a single uniform food; cooking and preservation change moisture and composition.
