About Handful of biltong
Handful of Biltong is a high-protein snack rooted in South African cuisine, renowned for its rich flavor and satisfying texture. Made from air-dried, spiced meat—typically beef but sometimes game like kudu or ostrich—biltong is seasoned with vinegar, salt, and aromatic spices. This preparation method minimizes additives and preserves natural nutrients. A single handful delivers a robust dose of protein, making it a favorite among athletes and those seeking energy-dense snacks. Biltong is also low in carbohydrates, making it keto-friendly, and rich in essential minerals such as iron and zinc. However, its sodium content may be high due to traditional curing processes, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation for those concerned with heart health or salt intake. Overall, this healthy snack is a flavorful way to fuel your day, reflecting the authentic culinary heritage of South Africa.
