Kalahari Snacks was started after the adventure of a lifetime – where best friends traveled to South Africa to race a total of 175 miles in an Ironman and Ultra Marathon, all within 6 days. Upon arrival, our South African teammate introduced us to his homeland’s unofficial national treasure, Biltong.
After eating close to our body weight in Biltong, we were hooked. Imagine the tenderness and texture of prosciutto, the lean protein of jerky, and the beef flavor of steak tartare. Being in awe of the depth of flavor, we were stunned when we learned about the simple ingredients and natural process of crafting Biltong.
We knew there was no going back to gnawing on dry, artificial-ingredient-packed jerky. Immediately upon arriving home, we began our mission of bringing a South African tradition of enjoying beef in its unaltered form back to our family, friends, and country. We knew the only way to succeed was to never cut corners, use the highest quality beef, and provide transparency for all our ingredients and processes.
Our newest snack pushes the boundaries of everything we’ve come to expect from traditional chips. With 20g of protein, 0g carbs, and 0g sugar, Kalahari Crisps air-dried beef chips are the perfect snack for mindful munching. Crisps elevate the experience, and can be enjoyed in countless ways — on the trail or after a workout, dipped in guac during your movie night, or as a road trip snack the whole family will love. We’ve stuck to our promise of simple ingredients so you’ll never waste a single bite of life!
Kalahari Snacks began after the adventure of a lifetime, when best friends traveled to South Africa and raced 175 miles in an Ironman and Ultramarathon within a week. There we discovered the age-old traditions of crafting and preserving beef with simple ingredients.
Since then, we’ve been rooted in our mission to share these styles and elevate the way people experience food.
