The next time you need a snack to bring to a party, hiking, or just hanging out, grab your NESCO Dehydrator and whip up some jerky. Even though it’s a wildly underrated snack, it brings way more to the table than most snacks because it’s savory, salty, and healthy.
Jerky is a Low-Carb, High-Protein Food
Studies have shown that a high protein, low carb diet can lead to a healthier lifestyle. Protein keeps your metabolism running smoothly and leaves you feeling satisfied, keeping cravings at a minimum.
No Unnatural Chemicals or Preservatives
Jerky, especially homemade, is free of unnatural dyes, chemicals, and weird preservatives. Typically, jerky only has three ingredients—meat, cure, and spices. Making your own jerky is an easy way to control the chemicals you and your family put into your bodies.
