Figure Ate’s 'Beef Biltong' offers a premium protein snack distinguished by its regenerative sourcing, nutritional profile, and traditional preparation method. Unlike conventional jerky, this biltong is air-dried rather than dehydrated, resulting in a naturally tender texture and robust flavor. Each pouch provides "32 grams of protein with zero grams of sugar," making it a clean-label snack suitable for active lifestyles and healthy eating routines.
Sourced from verified regenerative ranches, the beef is both grass-fed and grass-finished, meaning the cattle were raised exclusively on grass throughout their lives—an approach that supports soil health, biodiversity, and environmental sustainability; these practices go beyond organic standards, reflecting a growing interest from conscious consumers and retailers alike.
Crafted with minimal ingredients—just beef, vinegar, and spices—Figure Ate’s biltong contains no preservatives or nitrates. Recognized with a 2023 Good Food Award, it is available at retailers such as Erewhon, Sprouts, MOM’s Organic Market, and Bristol Farms, and ships nationwide.
