Snack Smarter: The Health Benefits of Grass-Fed Beef Jerky

Written By

Go Vita

Beef jerky, also known as biltong, is a favourite snack among fitness fans. Read on to discover why.

Low in Fat

Beef jerky is very low in fat. Even better, being produced from grass-fed organic beef means that the nutrient-dense omega-3 fats present in jerky provide you with more energy, and counter cravings so you feel full for longer.

Nutrition Powerhouse

Rich in essential vitamins and minerals, beef jerky is particularly high in iron, providing a haemoglobin boost and improving muscle endurance. It is an excellent source of zinc, which is needed for energy production and immunity, and vitamin B12, to support the brain and nervous system.

Keto and Paleo friendly

Jerky is low in carbohydrates and packed with protein, so it is ideal for anyone following a ketogenic or Paleo-based diet, as well as providing the perfect post-workout snack or energising mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Plus, it is a tasty and healthful choice for children’s lunch-boxes.
