Food Trend: Is 2016 the rise of the biltong superfood?

“Move over kale, acai berries and chia seeds… 2016’s big new biltong superfood is here!

Rather than reaching for the popcorn next movie night, grab a handful of delicious high-protein, low-calorie biltong. According to health and fitness expert, Max Bridger, biltong is the perfect healthy snack, with a 25g serving containing just 64 calories, 50% protein and 3% fat – this means that just one serving of bodacious biltong will give you 20% of your daily protein requirements and can boost your metabolism by up to 30%! And, it won’t result in an all-too-familiar sugar crash! What’s more, for all you gym bunnies out there, biltong, as a post-workout snack, will boost your energy levels.

So, next time, you’re feeling peckish, grab a bulging bag o’ biltong to satisfy those cravings, guilt-free.

DID YOU KNOW? Prince Harry loves nibbling on biltong while fighting on the front line, while actress Liz Hurley swears by it as part of her diet.”
