Moreover, a lot of innovative recipes can be tried using it as the chief ingredient. You can surprise your guests by preparing some tasty sandwiches or subs using them as a filler.

Beef jerky is prepared by marinating slices of highest quality beef and placing them in specialized drier at regulated temperature for 12 hours. Once it is dried to the appropriate moisture content to prevent spoilage, it is cooled and hygienically packaged. To prevent any oxidation, the sealed packages may sometimes contain small pouches of oxygen absorber.

A variety of flavours are available. So as per your taste, you may opt for the natural beef flavour, black pepper variant, sweet and spicy beef jerky, smokey jerky or the spicy hot chilli beef jerky. With a nil fat content and high protein value, it is the ideal snack for all age groups. Indeed it is not a “junk food” and like most other snacks does not add bulge. On the contrary, it helps dieters as its consumption gives a feeling of fullness and the best satiety value. Beef jerky is the best anytime food to accompany you on long journeys as it needs no preparation and there is no need to store it in a fridge or at any particular temperature for long.
