A Symphony of Flavors
Prepare to be enchanted by the intricate flavors of this Korean barbecue pork jerky. While I must admit that I’m not the biggest jerky aficionado, I enlisted the help of Sean, a jerky lover, to provide his expert opinion. However, I couldn’t resist taking a few bites myself.
The jerky boasts a delicate balance of sweetness and a pleasing soy sauce undertone, infused with a subtle hint of sesame. Although chili powder is listed as an ingredient, fear not, as this jerky is not spicy. It delivers a delightful chewiness without being hard or tough, and the freshness of the meat is truly remarkable. The thin slices of jerky reveal its high quality, devoid of any undesirable gristle.
Affordability at its Finest
For a 410-gram bag of this porky delight, I paid a reasonable $15.69 Canadian. Considering the delectable experience it offers, this price is well worth it.
Convenience on the Go
With its resealable bag and a shelf life of approximately eight months, this jerky is the perfect on-the-go snack. A freshness packet enclosed within the bag ensures its lasting quality. Bear in mind that once opened, the jerky should be consumed or refrigerated within three days.
Whether you’re embarking on a road trip, camping adventure, or simply hitting the beach or lake, this jerky is an ideal companion.
A Guilty Pleasure
Now, let’s talk nutrition. Each 28-gram serving of this jerky amounts to 100 calories, with 2.5 grams of fat, 360 mg of sodium, 10 grams of carbohydrates, zero grams of fiber, 10 grams of sugar, and eight grams of protein.
While it’s true that jerky may not be the healthiest snack option, this guilt-inducing pleasure certainly outshines a cupcake in terms of protein content.
