What are the health benefits of eating jerky?
Beef jerky is naturally high in protein content and low in fat and carbohydrates due to the way it is prepared and cooked. Since most jerky is generally 97%-98% fat free, you would be hard pressed to find a healthier and better tasting snack on the market. Jerky is a healthier snack alternative than chips, cookies or candy. Beef jerky is the perfect snack item to incorporate into any diet, including the ever-popular Atkins diet and those that are high in protein or low in fat.
