What You Should Know

Found in the snack aisle, gas stations, or tucked into a backpack for a hike or road trip, this grass-fed beef jerky feels rugged, protein-forward and a little nostalgic (campfire vibes). Its chewy, smoked texture and long shelf life come from curing, smoking and added salts/sugars rather than highly engineered additives, and the short, recognizable ingredient list points to a processed-but-not-fully-industrial product.
