Biltong
versus JERKY
Get to Know Biltong and Why it is the Ultimate Snack!
What is Biltong?
Biltong is a traditional, air-dried South African meat snack. Biltong is a healthier meat snack than jerky – it’s really just meat and spices!
So, How is
Biltong Made?
Biltong can be made from any type of meat, but beef is the classic meat choice for biltong snacks!
1. Slabs
The beef is sliced into large slabs.
2. Season
The slabs are tenderized with natural acids and dry rubbed with a blend of simple spices – yum!
3. Dry
The seasoned slabs are hung up and air-dried for up to 21 days. This ensures a tender and flavorful experience!
4. Slice
The biltong slabs are now sliced, often in the traditional way – by hand!
Jerky is soaked in a salt bath, injected with sugar-loaded marinades, preservatives, and other artificial ingredients. Biltong is not.
What about Taste & Texture?
Tasty and tender is the biltong way! Since biltong is always air-dried, each bite is 100% full of flavor and super tender – Never rough and gristly like jerky.
Jerky has uneven texture because it is sliced then baked. This process locks in moisture, causing jerky to e greasy inside, while tough outside.
…And Biltong Nutrition?
Biltong is an all-natural process! It is simple and doesn’t require any chemicals or additives to achieve its taste, texture, or nutrition. With 16g of protein per serving, zero sugar and zero carbs – Biltong is the best choice, no matter how you slice it!
Biltong has 50% more protein & 40% more beef per 1 ounce serving than the average jerky.
Biltong is free of:
Artificial
Ingredients
MSG
Artificial
Preservatives
Gluten
Nitrates
Jerky has nitrates. Period. Jerky is made with high heat, which converts nitrates into known carcinogens and that’s not good for anyone!
Simply put,
biltong snacks
are the best snacks!
