About Wors
Wors, also known as boerewors, is a traditional South African sausage made primarily from coarsely ground beef, often blended with pork or lamb, and spiced with ingredients like coriander, cloves, nutmeg, and black pepper. Originating from the Afrikaans word for "farmer's sausage," wors is a staple in South African cuisine and is commonly grilled or barbecued as part of a braai (South African barbecue). From a nutritional perspective, wors provides protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc, making it a good choice for energy and muscle repair. However, it can also be high in fat, particularly saturated fat, and sodium, depending on the recipe. For a healthier option, look for leaner versions with reduced fat content. As with any processed meat, moderation is key to enjoying all the flavors of wors while maintaining a balanced diet.
