Beef jerky

[tattoo 25]

How can 1ounce of dried beef be 15grams Protein when any other meat is only 7 grams per ounce?

Because beef Jerky is meat minus the Water content. So the Protein is concentrated. The same way an ounce of raisins has more calories than an ounce of grapes.

an ounce of beef Jerky is a lot more meat and a lot less Water than an ounce of regular beef because with regular beef you are eating all of the water content which doesn't have any Protein in it.

Isn't beef Jerky really high in sodium? Is there a "natural"/organic version available?

Beef jerky is high in sodium but you can get a low sodium version.
