3. Cooking with Biltong is Easy
Stand aside food delivery guy who knows the name of your cat. Since Biltong is similar to prosciutto, it can easily be blended into a variety of simple recipes. Next time you are eating avocado and toast, go ahead and sprinkle some biltong on there. Prepare to dazzle your cereal eating roomate. Biltong pizza is also extremely popular in South Africa. (Again with the cultured points.) Along with that, biltong salads, egg/Biltong and cheese sandwiches, Quiena and peppers, all of these ordinary meals can be made exceptional with a little Biltong sprinkle.
4. We don't believe in msg or killing enzymes
Because Biltong is dried by air and not heat, the enzymes inside the protein stay intact. This assists with muscle rebuilding and means you can eat less and still get the same effect as jerky. Great news for you and your newly acquired crossfit membership. Also, this can be the fact you give to outsmart the guy in a peacoat at your awesome house party. (Refer to # 2)
5. The taste, oh that taste.
Biltong's taste is raw and real. It is not covered with corn syrup or artificial flavors. *Insert mouthwash commercial smile here*
