Figure Ate Foods has launched two new products: a South African-style beef biltong and a naturally fermented persimmon vinegar, both available at Erewhon, Thrive Market and FigureAteFoods.com. The Figure Ate Foods biltong is made from grass-fed, regenerative, hormone- and antibiotic-free beef with no added sugars, and is priced at $11.99 for 2 oz.
The Beef Biltong comes in Original and Spiced varieties, marinated in persimmon vinegar for a tender, savory finish. The Naturally Fermented Persimmon Vinegar, priced at $18.99 for 12.7 oz, is made from California-grown persimmons and positioned as a flavorful alternative to apple cider vinegar for salads, marinades and cocktails.
As consumers look for clean-label snacks tied to eco-friendly regenerative agriculture, Figure Ate Foods shows how anchoring a protein snack and a pantry product together can create a cohesive brand identity.
