Beef Jerky is a lean meat that has very less fat content and is high in protein. The fat is trimmed off from the meat in the beef jerky, the meat is then cut into strips and then it is dried. The drying is mainly carried out by adding salt and the moisture content should be very less in the commercial sale of beef jerky as this eliminates the need for preservatives. Most of the manufacturing company add flavors to the beef jerky during the process of drying and are available in the market in a variety of flavors such as Teriyaki, Sweet BBQ, Sesame.
The beef jerky is used as a snack food that is available in supermarkets around the world. The demand for the beef jerky in the market is high and many manufacturing companies produce it. But the production is concentrated only in specific regions of the world. But the U.S. market has the highest consumption of the beef jerky. The growth in the retail sales of the beef jerky was observed to be higher than the past years in the United States last year and it has been increasing.
The focus has been shifted from that of carbohydrate-rich food to food that is rich in protein. Beef jerky is being used as a snack food that is rich in proteins. And thus there were more sales of beef jerky than that of other snacks that have carbohydrates. Also, the beef jerky is rich in nutrition that is an additional benefit. The addition of preservatives is also not required as the whole moisture content is supposed to be kept to 2% only according to the government guidelines for beef jerky. This reduces the beef jerky getting spoilt by microbial contamination even without preservatives. Also, the salt added to it is known to avoid bacterial contamination and acts as a preservative. This is thus termed as a healthy snack and is thus in high demand.
