Jerky has got to be the best snack ever. While often an image of an American cowboy or truck driver comes to mind, it’s been around for longer than people think, and not only in North America. My ancestors have been eating it forever (in Quechua it’s called charqui and it’s often made of alpaca). What makes jerky so good? It’s cured and dried, so it keeps forever. It’s high in protein, which apart from replenishing your body’s needs, keeps you satisfied much longer than carbs. It’s light in weight, making it perfect for hiking, cycling, etc. It’s tasty. Sadly it’s hard to find commercial jerky that is not full…
