Why is most beef jerky so expensive?
The main reason is that all jerky is costly to make. Beef is about 60% water, so when it is dried most of the weight is evaporated. It takes about 2.5 LBs of quality beef to make 1 LB of jerky. Secondly, many jerky companies use expensive chemicals and preservatives when making their jerky, and they have alot of waste just based on how they make it. We use minimal preservatives, especially in our Original and Fiery Hot flavors, and have a unique process is much more efficient and reduces waste considerably.
