About Lean biltong
Lean Biltong is a high-protein, low-fat dried meat snack originating from South African cuisine. Made by air-drying premium cuts of beef, it’s seasoned with a blend of natural spices, salt, and vinegar, delivering a savory and slightly tangy flavor. Unlike traditional jerky, biltong is free of artificial additives and often contains minimal to no added sugar, making it a cleaner and more nutrient-dense option. Its lean profile ensures it’s low in saturated fats while being a rich source of protein, iron, and essential vitamins like B12, supporting muscle repair and energy production. Perfect for those on high-protein, keto, or low-carb diets, Lean Biltong is also gluten-free and often nitrate-free. However, the sodium content may be higher due to the curing process, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. This wholesome snack is ideal for health-conscious individuals or anyone seeking a natural, flavorful protein boost.
