Jerky is hardly a fad. Its origins date back at least to the Incas, who salted and dried strips of leftover meat, and the word “jerky” itself is derived from the Quechua word “charqui.” However, the popularity of high protein diets has brought it to the forefront of snack foods since jerky is high protein, very low fat, and outside of salt, has nothing that is bad for you.
Unfortunately, some manufacturers have used jerky as a means of marketing undesirable meat doctored up with artificial flavors. They often grind meats then reconstitute them into strips, and although it meets U.S. requirements to be called jerky, it is far from what the name jerky implies, which is dried strips of solid meat.
Quality jerky is made using superior quality top round beef. It should contain minimum to no preservatives, no added MSG, no nitrites, no Erythorbate, no artificial ingredients, and should be only minimally processed.
Jerky is available in a variety of flavors, textures, and cuts. In addition to high quality beef, jerky is also available in natural Buffalo, natural Turkey, as well as organic Beef. This variety ensures that almost everyone can find a jerky to their liking.
If you are looking to add high quality protein to your diet while reducing fat, then follow the path of the ancient Incas and add some delicious beef, buffalo or turkey jerky to your diet.
