A little history and knowledge about Beef Jerky and Beef Jerky manufacturing.

Beef Jerky is a trimmed piece of meet that is marinated in spices, salts or other flavoring.  The meet is trimmed of all its fat so it is very lean.  The product is then further processed by drying in a moderately warm environment either in the sun “sun dried” or in a oven.  Meet processed this way is very well preserved and can last a long time with out being refrigerated.  The taste depending on how it was seasoned can be sweet, salty, teriyaki, spicy, hot or plain.  After the meet is trimmed, seasoned, pressed and dried in is brought to the final moister content and a final seasoning may be applied prior to its packaging.  Packaging is frequently in a vacuum sealed bag to prevent spoiling and to assure long shelf life.

As beef jerky has gained in popularity the food processing method has been expanded to other base foods such as deer, elk, alligator and fowl such as ostrich.  In all cases the base food is processed the same by trimming, slowly drying, salting and seasoning.  In the early days of civilization and food processing jerky was prepared in the sun or next to a smoky fire.  In today’s modern world there are factories which process the meats using ovens, oils and automated manufacturing processes.  For those that are more health conscious jerky is presently available in organic forms.  In these cases the products are generally free of artificial flavors and are even gluten free.  On the other side of the spectrum there are also highly processed formed chopped meet jerky products that are high in fat and chemical preservatives.

We have found Jack Links and Slim Jims to be very popular beef jerky products.
