Beef jerky is back, and it has made a great reappearance as a healthy, protein-packed food full of zinc and iron. From its early days in every traveler’s and outdoors person’s pack, it is now featured on store shelves at health food shops and farmers’ markets. This also witnesses a boom in protein-rich foods across the nation.

But how healthy is this chewy treat?

Beef jerky is a great source of protein, zinc, and iron, making it an attractive choice for most rushing snackers on-the-go. However, it is processed meat loaded with sodium.

The catch lies in how they make the beef jerky. Traditional jerky relied on salt as its preserving agent, whereas today, there are such huge differences among jerky products regarding their ingredients and processing methods. As a result of this vast difference, not all beef jerky is created equal nutritionally.
