Definiția și Sensul lui "jerky"

What is "jerky"?

Jerky is a type of dried meat that has been cured and preserved through a process of dehydration. It is typically made from lean cuts of beef, but can also be made from other meats such as turkey, pork, or venison. The meat is sliced thinly, marinated in a mixture of salt, spices, and often sugar or soy sauce for flavor, and then dried at low temperatures for an extended period of time. This process removes moisture from the meat, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and preserving it for long-term storage. The result is a chewy, flavorful snack that is high in protein and low in fat.
