Strips of dried meat called biltong have become the preferred snack for sportsmen and women. Specialized media place it as the trendy snack after a training session. Biltong is a real delicacy, with a salty and spicy taste and smooth texture<\/b>. It just came from South Africa and has already made quite a name for itself as a revolutionary, superfood and amazing treat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Biltong is a South African delicacy. A daily and popular food. It is a type of dried meat<\/b>. Although the most popular form is beef, in South Africa it is also made with other types of meat, such as chicken, ostrich or gazelle.<\/span><\/p>\n

The meat is marinated in vinegar, salt and a variety of spices, including black pepper and coriander, and is left to dry. Other common seasonings are ground chilies, garlic, Worcestershire sauce or onion powder.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this process, a high percentage protein product is obtained (around 55%, with the possibility of reaching 67%<\/b>), low fat content (less than 5%<\/b>) and almost no sugars. Biltong is neither smoked, salted nor cured but is a macerated, spiced and air-dried steak. This makes it different in appearance, color, smell, flavor and even in texture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ideal to serve as an appetizer, it is also an excellent ingredient for salads, creams, rice and vegetables. This way, you get the most of your flavor and protein. In South Africa it is also added to stews and salty cakes.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
