About Biltong
Biltong is a traditional South African dried and cured meat snack, typically made from beef, though game meats like ostrich or venison are also popular. Seasoned with a mix of salt, vinegar, coriander, and other spices, biltong is air-dried to achieve its distinct flavor and texture. Unlike jerky, it’s cured without added sugars or excessive heat, making it a high-protein, low-carb snack ideal for those seeking nutritious, convenient options. It’s packed with essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, supporting energy and muscle health. While its high protein content makes it appealing to athletes and keto dieters, biltong can be high in sodium due to the curing process, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation. Offering a satisfying and flavorful bite, this snack highlights the resourceful, flavor-rich culinary traditions of South Africa.
