Canterbury Biltong

Why is Biltong the ultimate workout snack?

  1. High Protein Content: Biltong is made from lean cuts of meat, typically beef or game, which means it's rich in protein. Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, making it a great option post-workout.
  2. Low in Carbs: It contains minimal carbohydrates, making it suitable for low-carb diets or those looking to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
  3. Convenient and Portable: Biltong is lightweight and easy to carry, making it a convenient snack option for the gym or outdoor activities.
  4. Long Shelf Life: Because it’s dried and cured, biltong has a long shelf life, which makes it easy to store and take along without worrying about spoilage.
  5. Nutrient Dense: Besides protein, biltong contains essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which are beneficial for energy metabolism and overall health.
  6. Flavorful: Its savory taste can satisfy cravings for something salty or meaty without the unhealthy fats found in many processed snacks.

Biltong combines convenience, nutrition, and flavor, making it an ideal choice for pre- or post-workout fueling.

What is Biltong?

Biltong in Afrikaans means ‘meat or rump’ and ‘strip’. Originally from South Africa, biltong, similar to beef jerky, is a snack food that is made from cured and dried slices of meat, using salt, vinegar, and spices. When Dutch settlers arrived in South Africa, they were looking for ways to preserve their fresh meat in the hot conditions for future eating. Biltong can also be added to your favourite dishes where you can replace jerky beef, salami or other smoked meats.
