Jerky dates back to ancient times, where indigenous peoples dried meat to preserve it for long journeys.
The word “jerky” comes from the Quechua word “ch’arki”, meaning dried, salted meat.
Beef jerky is naturally low in carbohydrates and often used in low-carb and keto diets.
Some brands add flavorings and preservatives, so it’s best to check labels for added sugars or nitrates.
Modern beef jerky can be made from other meats like turkey, venison, or even plant-based alternatives.
