Biltong is high in protein, low in carbohydrates, low in calories and a nutritional food snack that rivals many other snack alternatives. Biltong is a convenient way of getting a quality serving of protein. Including protein in your diet, not only assists with weight loss or maintenance, but it also stabilises blood sugar levels which manages hunger, improves concentration and repairs tissue and muscle – you can’t get that out of a bag of crisps.
