Beef jerkies: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Beef jerky is a category of dried, cured meat products, typically made from beef. The manufacturing process involves removing moisture to preserve the meat, often resulting in a chewy texture and concentrated flavour. Products in this category may be seasoned with a variety of marinades and spices, such as barbecue, teriyaki, or chilli. When looking at packaged beef jerky, the ingredient list commonly shows the type of beef used and the various seasonings and preservatives. The nutrition label provides information on energy content, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, and salt. As beef jerky is a cured product, salt content can be significant.
