About Drywors

Drywors, a traditional South African snack, is a dried sausage made from high-quality, coarsely ground beef, often combined with lamb or pork for added flavor. Spiced with a blend of coriander, salt, pepper, and vinegar, it is air-dried to achieve its unique texture and rich, savory taste. Originating from South African culinary traditions, Drywors is a variation of Boerewors, crafted to be shelf-stable and portable. Rich in protein and low in carbohydrates, it makes for a convenient, energy-dense snack. However, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats, depending on the preparation, which may require mindful consumption. Its preservative-free, artisanal variations are ideal for those seeking natural, high-protein options. Popular as a snack for outdoor adventures or as part of a charcuterie board, Drywors delivers a satisfying flavor while offering a glimpse into South Africa's vibrant food heritage.
