What is Beef Jerky?            

Jerky is a food known at least since ancient Egypt and in the days of the Wild West cowboys. They would cut strips from animal meat that was too big to eat all at once, such as bear, buffalo, or whale, and hang them up to dry in the sun. The sundrying process actually preserved the meat and so allowed the cowboys to carry the strips in their saddle bags to chew on for many weeks later. The word "Jerky" comes from the Spanish word for jerked meat "charqui". Europeans heard this word and changed it to a word that was easier to pronounce "jerky". Jerky is a nutrient-dense meat that has been made lightweight by drying . Because most of the moisture is removed, it is shelf stable, can be stored without refrigeration, so making it a handy, nutritious, wholesome food for backpackers and others who don't have access to refrigerators. So, whether you're walking, mountain climbing, camping, fishing, body building, trekking, cycling, or just watching TV, our British Beef Jerky makes a delicious survival food or snack.

When you first put a piece of beef jerky into your mouth it will feel dry, but when you begin chewing, it will soon rehydrate, to take on the feel of eating regular beef, but with a different flavour, depending upon the marinate used during the initial stages of preparation.
