Top buffalo chicken jerky by Beef Jerky Company: Like most red-blooded males born here in the U.S. or far and wide, I like beef jerky. And you can’t forget pork jerky. Or the ever-popular turkey jerky. If you offered me some smoked salmon jerky I’d try it, though I’ve found it to be pretty hit or miss. In my life, I’ve also tried elk and even tuna jerky — only one of those I’d snack on again, though. To make a long story short, I like jerky.

Our trained tasters can’t comment on the stronghold, but they did try 10 sliced beef jerky snacks and five meat sticks. Three of the beef jerkies and two of the sticks tasted very good; the rest were just OK. When it comes to nutrition, the jerkies win, with fewer calories than the sticks and far less fat. How good for you? Jerky is made from lean cuts of beef that are cooked at low heat for a long time, so very little fat makes it into the end product. On the other hand, meat sticks, encased like sausage, have 8 to 13 grams of fat, including 3 to 5 grams of saturated fat. The sticks also have about twice the calories of the jerkies.

Deep and rich with bold, smoky steak flavors of molasses, barley malt, and tamarind.

Jawbox Jerky was born from a backyard barbecue challenge among friends: can we make a better, tastier, healthier jerky than what’s available? That night, Jawbox co-founder Jay Lane went home and ordered a dehydrator online. And the next day Jay’s neighbor and Jawbox co-founder, Chef Devin (Devo) Beck, stopped by his local butcher to buy top-grade, grass-fed beef. Later that day, the very first batch of Jawbox Jerky was created. See additional information at Beef Jerky Company.
