What Makes Biltong Different From Jerky?

Biltong often gets lumped in with jerky, but the two couldn't be more different. Jerky is cooked with heat. Biltong is air-dried and marinated in a blend of vinegar, salt, and spices a slow curing process that results in a richer, more tender texture with deeper flavor.

• Biltong Chili Bites (4oz) — a spicy twist for heat lovers.

What Is Droëwors and Why Should You Try It?

If biltong is South Africa's answer to beef jerky, Droëwors is its answer to a snack stick only far better. Made from traditional spiced beef sausage and then air-dried to perfection, droëwors has a crumbly, savory bite that keeps you coming back for more.

Beyond the Meat: Rusks, Boerewors, and More

The Howdysnax range goes well beyond dried meats. If you're looking to explore the full breadth of South African flavors, here's what else is on offer.

Traditional Boerewors

Boerewors which translates to "farmer's sausage" is a beloved South African staple. Spiced with coriander, cloves, and nutmeg, this coil sausage is traditionally cooked on a braai (barbecue) and serves as the centerpiece of any South African gathering. Howdysnax's Traditional Boerewors brings that backyard braai experience straight to your kitchen.

Howdy Bakes Rusks

Rusks are a South African baked good with a long history. Hard and dry by design, they're meant to be dunked in coffee or tea until softened—a ritual that South Africans swear by. Howdy Bakes offers four flavors:

• Buttermilk — the classic, beloved by generations
• Healthy Bran — a wholesome, fiber-rich option
• Cranberry & Almond — a fruity, nutty twist
• Choc Chip — for those who like a little indulgence with their morning coffee

The Howdy Bakes Rusks Variety Pack includes all four flavors and is a great way to figure out your favorite.

Howdy Bakes Koeksisters

Koeksisters are a traditional South African sweet treat—braided dough that's deep-fried and soaked in syrup. Think of them as a stickier, more indulgent cousin of a doughnut. One bite and you'll understand why they've been a staple at South African family tables for decades.
