A new breed of beef jerky is a science-backed “superfood”, winning the hearts and minds of food lovers across America by transforming the popular junk food favorite into a healthy high protein snack.
Made by North-Carolina based JustMeat, the new beef jerky is set on challenging the entire beef jerky industry – known for producing beef jerky as an unhealthy “junk food” – by producing a snack that redefines beef jerky as a healthy, protein-rich treat.
The family-owned food company aims to do justice to beef jerky’s properties as a true “superfood”, by creating a snack that exclusively uses USDA-approved lean beef combined with proprietary production for the highest possible protein content, lowest sodium content, no artificial ingredients and no sugar.
Research by the National Library of Medicine found that the protein in beef is a “complete” protein, unlike “incomplete” plant-based proteins, meaning it contains all of the essential amino acids that humans need as part of a healthy diet (*1).
JustMeat Beef Jerky’s nutritional profile means the snack is also full of immune-boosting zinc, iron, vitamin B12, phosphorus, omega-3 fatty acids, niacin, and folate.
“Beef jerky is a secret superfood packed with proteins, vitamins and minerals. Many people are only just discovering how great it is,” said Adam Houston, CEO of JustMeat.
“It turns out that the best tasting beef jerky is actually also the healthiest beef jerky. There are so many health benefits to eating the right kind of beef jerky as a snack. But not enough people know about it because no one is making it correctly for the benefits to be realized.
Big brands have been mass-producing beef jerky pumped full of chemicals, additives and unnecessary amounts of sugar and sodium for years. Their poor practices have also meant that jerky is often delivered to consumers contaminated with mold. They’re not just destroying the freshness and the great meaty flavor, but our bodies too.”
JustMeat protects the longevity of its products from mold by using oxygen absorbers during production and vacuum sealing every packet to maintain maximum freshness for its customers.
“We’re here to give beef jerky the reputation it deserves,” continued CEO Adam Houston. “It’s an excellent source of protein and will satiate any appetite as a snack that’s hearty, healthy and satisfying all at once”.
