Pork jerky is a savory, protein-packed snack made from lean cuts of pork that are marinated, seasoned, and slowly dried to create a chewy texture and rich flavor. Originating in various cuisines, including Asian and American traditions, pork jerky often incorporates spices, soy sauce, or sugar for a balanced taste profile. It’s a convenient, shelf-stable option for those seeking a portable source of protein. Pork jerky is high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for certain diets like keto or paleo. However, it can be high in sodium and sometimes contains added sugars, which may be a concern for those monitoring blood pressure or sugar intake. Choosing varieties made with minimal additives and lower sodium content can offer a healthier alternative while satisfying your craving for a flavorful snack.
