Produced here in the UK with no artificial additives, biltong is made in a simple process from the same cut of silverside beef as a Sunday roast before being sliced, marinated, air-dried and packaged to be sold. It’s becoming such a popular snack the UK consumed 312 tonnes of biltong last year, that’s 2,080,000 Sunday roasts worth.

When compared with other ‘healthy’ snacks the health benefits of biltong are night and day. A serving of biltong blows away the almighty protein nut bar, which has double the calories, triple the fat and less than a quarter of the protein. When snacking in front of the tele, instead of reaching for a lighter option in popcorn, which is filled with empty calories and high in sugar, reach instead for biltong to keep your hunger at bay while providing lasting energy without the sugar crash.

Perfect for power lifters, gymnasts, body builders and cardio queens, consider swapping your traditional post-workout snack for delicious beef biltong and enjoy the benefits and extra energy you’ll feel after.
