About Dry wors

Dry Wors, a traditional South African cured sausage, is a popular snack with origins in the country's vibrant meat-loving cuisine. Made primarily from spiced minced beef or a mixture of beef and pork, it often includes simple seasonings like coriander, salt, black pepper, and vinegar. Unlike fresh sausage, Dry Wors is air-dried rather than cooked, resulting in a chewy texture and concentrated flavor. Nutritionally, it’s high in protein and a good source of iron, making it a satisfying option for those seeking a quick energy boost. However, it’s also high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key. Often enjoyed as a portable snack or part of a charcuterie board, Dry Wors is a delicious representation of South Africa’s culinary heritage.
