A carnivore snack with a four-ingredient label

Eating carnivore rules out most snacks. Chips, bars and crackers are gone, and plenty of meat snacks are not as simple as they look once you read the label: sugar in the cure, starch or syrup to bind it, flavourings to cover the rest. Biltong keeps the list short. Beef, vinegar, salt and spice, air-dried slowly until it is ready to eat.

Because it is dried rather than cooked at high heat, biltong stays close to the beef it started as. You choose how lean or fatty it is, how dry or tender, and whether you want it sliced or as a whole slab. It travels without a cooler bag and needs no prep.

Everything here is made in our own butchery in Barrie, Ontario, and shipped across Canada. Counting protein rather than carbs? The same biltong sits in our high protein snacks too, and the full range lives on our biltong page.

Carnivore snacks

On a carnivore or animal based plate, the ingredient list is what matters. Biltong keeps it to four things: beef, vinegar, salt and spice. There is no sugar curing it, no starch binding it and no filler bulking it out, and because it is air-dried rather than cooked it stays close to the beef it started as.

One pantry, zero carbs on this shelf

Most of the South African pantry has carbs somewhere, from rusks to chocolates. Biltong is the one shelf worth stopping at if you are eating carnivore, since it is beef and nothing more.

Why biltong fits a carnivore diet

Biltong is beef, air-dried rather than cooked, and cured only with vinegar, salt and spice. No fillers, no starches and nothing bulking it out, which keeps the ingredient list about as short as a snack gets.

Eating carnivore or simply chasing more protein, the biltong is the same: air-dried beef with nothing added. Browse the High Protein Snacks range for the same cuts from a protein angle.

How to eat biltong on a carnivore diet

  • Pick your fat. Many people eating carnivore want more fat, not less. Our sliced biltong and slabs come lean, medium fat or fatty, so you can match it to how you eat.
  • Use it to bridge the gap between meals. A few slices keep you going when a proper meal is hours away, without reaching for anything off plan.
  • Pack it for long days. Road trips, site work and long office days are where carnivore gets hard. Biltong needs no cooking and no fridge before it is opened, and our biltong sticks are the easiest to carry.
  • Know your own rules. Every flavour is cured with vinegar and spice. If your version of carnivore avoids all plant seasoning, biltong may not fit. Most people eating carnivore are comfortable with it.

Where it fits in your day

Biltong works as a snack between meals, a top-up after training, or an easy lunch when you are away from a kitchen. Want to compare every flavour and cut? Head to our biltong page, and read biltong vs jerky for how it differs from other dried meats.

Frequently asked questions

Is biltong carnivore diet friendly?

For most people, yes. Biltong is beef, air-dried and seasoned with vinegar, salt and spice, with no sugar, starch or fillers. Very strict carnivore eaters who avoid all plant seasoning may skip the vinegar and spice, but most people eating carnivore are comfortable with them.
Does biltong have any carbs?

No carbs are added. Biltong is beef cured with vinegar, salt and spice, so the only carbs are the trace amounts in the seasoning.
What's the difference between biltong and jerky for a carnivore diet?

Jerky is often smoked or cooked with a sugary marinade that can add carbs. Biltong is air-dried and seasoned simply, which keeps it carb-free and carnivore friendly.
How do I eat biltong on a carnivore diet?

Eat it as is, straight from the bag, sliced onto a plate, or packed along as a portable, zero-carb snack between meals.
Can I choose fatty biltong for a carnivore diet?

Yes. Our sliced biltong and slabs come lean, medium fat or fatty, and dry, moist or wet, so you can pick the fat level that suits the way you eat.
Is biltong better than pork rinds on carnivore?

They do different jobs. Pork rinds are fried pork skin and give you crunch. Biltong is dried beef, so it is closer to a meal. Plenty of people eating carnivore keep both on hand.
Does biltong contain sugar?

Our recipe does not. Bokkie's biltong is cured with vinegar, salt and spice only. That is one of the main differences from most beef jerky, which is often marinated in sugar or soy sauce.
Do you ship carnivore snacks across Canada?

Yes. Everything on this page is made in our butchery in Barrie, Ontario and shipped across Canada. You can also buy it in person at our shop in Barrie.
