100% Satisfaction Guaranteed

I was looking for that Teriyaki Beef Jerky that I ate as a child~ without all of the ingredients that I now know I’m allergic too. I wanted a flavor that was sweet & savory that was a perfect balance of both. This flavor is the best of both worlds, none of our flavors have huge amounts of salt as we derive our flavors from organic spices, vinegars and coconut aminos (a soy-sauce substitute in the Paleo diet) with just a hint of orange juice. It’s kind of my favorite flavor~ just don’t tell the other ones…

Benefits of Grass Fed and Gras Finished Beef Jerky

As someone who is constantly exploring healthier food options, I recently delved into the world of beef jerky. What I discovered might change your perspective on this popular snack. The key difference lies in the diet of the cattle: grass-fed and grass-finished vs. grain-fed. Let’s explore why grass-fed and grass-finished beef jerky stands out.

1. Nutrient Profile: A Clear Winner

Firstly, I learned that grass-fed and grass-finished beef boasts a superior nutrient profile. According to a study published in the Journal of Animal Science, grass-fed beef contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids compared to its grain-fed counterpart. Why does this matter? Omega-3s are crucial for our health, playing a significant role in brain function and reducing inflammation.

In contrast, grain-fed beef tends to have higher omega-6 fatty acids. While omega-6s are essential too, an imbalance skewed towards omega-6 can contribute to inflammation in the body. This finding was echoed in a comprehensive research piece in the British Journal of Nutrition. It highlighted that grass-fed beef has a more balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats, making it a healthier choice, especially for those of us conscious about inflammation.

2. Environmental Impact: A Greener Choice

As I dug deeper, I found out that grass-fed and grass-finished beef is not only good for us but also better for the planet. Cattle that graze on grass play a role in enhancing soil health and reducing carbon footprint. A report by the Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education program points out that well-managed grazing systems can sequester carbon in the soil, mitigating the effects of climate change. This was an eye-opener for me, as I realized my snack choice could contribute to environmental sustainability.

3. Flavor and Texture: Naturally Enhanced

Let’s talk taste. Many beef jerky aficionados swear by the flavor of grass-fed beef. It has a more authentic and robust beef taste, often described as being closer to what beef ‘should’ taste like. Additionally, grass-fed beef tends to be leaner, which in jerky form, translates to a texture that’s less greasy and more satisfying to chew. This natural enhancement of flavor and texture without additives makes grass-fed beef jerky a winner in my book.

4. Ethical Farming Practices: Supporting Animal Welfare

Lastly, I was pleased to learn that grass-fed and grass-finished beef often correlates with more ethical farming practices. Typically, these cattle have more room to roam and graze, leading to a better quality of life. Supporting products that come from these farming practices aligns with my values of animal welfare and sustainable agriculture.
