About Boerewors
Boerewors is a traditional South African sausage known for its distinct flavor and cultural significance. Made primarily from coarsely ground beef, it often includes pork or lamb and is seasoned with spices like coriander, cloves, nutmeg, and black pepper. Its name, derived from Afrikaans, translates to "farmer's sausage," reflecting its roots in South African cuisine. Boerewors is typically prepared in a coiled shape and cooked over a grill or barbecue, making it a popular choice for gatherings and braais. While it is rich in protein and iron due to its meat content, it can be high in fat and sodium, especially when made with fatty cuts or excessive seasoning. Opting for leaner versions or pairing it with fresh vegetables can balance its nutritional profile. Enjoyed in moderation, boerewors celebrates regional flavors while providing a hearty meal.
