Biltong is similar to jerky as it is a form of [dried, cured meat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greenridge-naturals) with origins in Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. However, the tasty treat is superior to the popular alternative in a number of ways. For one, Stryve's biltong snacks are "never injected with or soaked in sugar-laden marinades." As a result, the treat contains significantly fewer carbs. In addition, the [nutritious finger food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-leaf-mighty-protein) also boasts 36 grams of protein and only one gram of sugar. Nominated as a finalist for CSP's Best New Product Award, Stryve's biltong snacks are sure to revolutionize [dried meat consumption](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meat-snack-product). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Healthy Snack Alternatives:** The demand for nutritious and low-sugar snack options is creating opportunities for innovative food companies like Stryve to create guilt-free indulgences. - **Protein-rich Snacks:** As consumers actively seek protein-packed snacks, there is a growing market for biltong and other protein-rich dried meat products. - **Alternative to Jerky:** The rise of biltong as a healthier alternative to traditional jerky opens up opportunities for companies like Stryve to disrupt the dried meat market. ### Who This Affects Most - **Health Food:** The health food industry is experiencing a surge in demand for low-sugar and protein-rich snacks, creating opportunities for companies like Stryve to cater to health-conscious consumers. - **Meat Snacks:** The meat snacks industry, including dried meats like biltong, is seeing growth as consumers look for flavorful and protein-packed on-the-go options. - **Food Technology:** Innovations in food processing and preservation techniques are allowing companies like Stryve to create nutritious and high-protein snacks like biltong with minimal additives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Regeneratively-Sourced Beef Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beef-bitlong.md) - [Air-Dried Beef Biltongs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beef-biltongs.md) - [Low-Sugar Protein-Rich Meat Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pro-snack-stick.md) - [Naturally Flavored Meat Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bavarian-meats.md) - [Grass-Fed Beef Biltong](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beef-biltong.md) - [Portable Snacking Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snack-sticks.md) - [Lifestyle-Conscious Meat Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-archer-provisions.md) - [Protein-Packed Jerky Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchy-jerky-chips.md) - [Better-For-You Beef Jerky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krave.md)
