About Snacks, beef jerky, chopped and formed
Beef jerky is lean beef that has been marinated, seasoned and dried until chewy and shelf-stable. The chopped-and-formed kind is made from ground beef pressed into strips before drying, giving a more uniform, tender bite than whole-muscle jerky.
Because drying removes the water, everything else is concentrated: about 410 calories per 100 grams and an impressive 33 grams of protein, which is what makes it a favorite portable, no-refrigeration snack. The same concentration applies to the seasoning, though, so sodium runs very high at over 2,000 milligrams per 100 grams, and sweetened marinades add sugar; a small portion goes a long way.
It travels well for hikes, road trips and gym bags, delivering a lot of protein in a light, durable package. Reduced-sodium and no-sugar versions are increasingly common for those who snack on it regularly.
