8 Beef Jerky Brands RANKED Worst to Best (You've Been Eating SUGAR and SALT)

Описание: We all pretend we know what good jerky tastes like, but most of us have been settling for whatever's hanging on the gas station rack since childhood. While you've been loyally buying the same brands with animal mascots or trusting organic labels, the jerky industry has been charging you three bucks an ounce for texture that could double as boot leather and sodium levels that would make your cardiologist weep. Some of America's most popular jerky brands are straight-up rip-offs—mold complaints, recipe downgrades, and toughness that qualifies as a jaw workout instead of a snack. Organic brands slap grass-fed labels on strips so tough you'd be better off eating your shoe, while gas station favorites coast on nostalgia and deliver plasticky sweet glaze over chewy disappointment. The shocking truth is that one of the best beef jerkies available isn't some craft brand or famous name—it's a store brand quietly destroying the competition with actual tender texture at half the price. Today, we're ranking eight beef jerky brands from worst to best, because life's too short to waste money on dehydrated punishment that tastes like salted cardboard.
