Beef Jerky Day
Is beef jerky good for you? Beef jerky is made from lean beef and is high in protein. A serving is one ounce – and because it’s protein-dense, can help you feel fuller longer and not snack on junk food. Beef jerky, as with beef, is also high in other essential nutrients: zinc, iron and b-vitamins. In all, it contains 10 essential nutrients.
Not all jerky’s are healthy, but some great ones do exist! Check your ingredients and watch out for MSG, nitrates, nitrites, and meat raised with hormones, or antibiotics. To find the 14 healthiest jerkies on the web, check this list out: http://halegenic.com/complete-beef-jerky-online-buyers-guide/
