About Dried meat
Dried meat, often referred to as jerky, biltong, or carne seca depending on its origin, is a nutrient-dense snack made by curing and air-drying thin strips of meat. Traditionally crafted to preserve meat without refrigeration, it is popular in cuisines worldwide, from South African biltong to South American charqui. Dried meat is high in protein, low in carbohydrates, and often contains essential nutrients like iron and zinc, making it a convenient option for active individuals. However, it can be high in sodium, as salt is typically used in the curing process. Some commercial varieties may also include added sugars or artificial preservatives, so it's important to check ingredient labels. Opting for minimally processed or homemade options can enhance its health benefits. Dried meat's portability and long shelf life make it a popular choice for travel, hiking, or quick, on-the-go snacking.
