About Droewors
Droewors, a traditional South African dried sausage, is a flavorful snack made primarily from beef or mutton, mixed with spices such as coriander, salt, pepper, and vinegar. Originating from the same cuisine that gave us biltong, droewors is a healthier, preservative-free alternative to many commercial jerky products due to its natural air-drying process. Its recipe eschews pork or added fats, focusing instead on lean meat, which provides a high-protein, low-carb snack option. However, its sodium content, a result of curing, can be significant and may not be ideal for those monitoring salt intake. Rich in iron and essential nutrients from the meat, droewors delivers energy and sustenance, making it popular with hikers and athletes alike. While droewors aligns with paleo and high-protein diets, portion control is important to fully enjoy its benefits without exceeding limits on caloric or sodium intake.
