This nutrient-rich meat is made lightweight by drying. Since converting it into jerky, a pound of meat or poultry will weigh only about four ounces. Properly made jerky can be stored for months without refrigeration because the drying process removes the bulk of the moisture. Bacteria can be prevented from growing if salt is added to the meat before the drying process begins..

The word "jerky" comes from the Spanish word charqui, which comes from the Quechua (a Native South American language) word ch'arki, which means to fire (meat).

Traditional jerky is sold in individual servings and in larger bags as well. They also sell it in a variety of flavors and add spices for additional heat.

While on road trips, camping, or even long-distance flights, jerky staves off hunger until the next meal. It's also very convenient to pack. So simple, in fact, that it's even been to space due to its lightweight and high level of nutrition. Astros have used jerky as space food several times for space flights since 1996.
