It took over 12 years to celebrate, reviewing 4,000 ounces of jerky to date. The price of jerky generally goes down when buying jerky in larger quantities. 8 ounce, 12 ounce, and 16 ounce (one pound) bags are gaining in popularity as the prices of everything rises. Our Jerky Prices page, which tracks the prices of many different types of jerky, is exclusively based on the price per ounce. Read More

It took us over twelve years to celebrate creating 1300 Jerky Tags here at www.jerkyingredients.com. For the record, there are 79 jerky categories, whereas WordPress has, or at least had a limit of around 100 categories. As a basic description, a Jerky Tag is descriptive, and a Jerky Category is generalized. Jerky tags are unlimited in the popular web content management system WordPress. Read More

It took us over twelve years to review 35 Jerky Types. When I started this jerky review website in 2014, I did not even know there were 30 jerky types. Now I know there are over 40 different jerky types, possibly 50, excluding fruit jerky. Finding a new jerky type is always exciting, especially if you have never tried it before. Using the term jerky can be disingenuous. The most basic definition of jerky is “dried meat” Read More

It took almost twelve years to review $10,000 worth of jerky. That is not a small amount. Thankfully, nearly 2/3 of that amount was submitted jerky. Ideally, we would only review submitted jerky, but that’s not really feasible. A goal of this website is to review as many jerky brands as possible, and that could not happen with just submitted jerky. Occasionally, we do not get around to reviewing Read More

Of all of our milestones celebrated, having 800 jerky bags submitted for review to date is what makes us most proud. Without the kindness of jerky makers submitting jerky for review, this jerky review website would not be possible. We want to thank every jerky maker who has submitted for review and every jerky maker who will go forward. It is our privilege to review jerky, where jerky makers tend to be Read More

When I first started this jerky review website in 2014, I had already accumulated about 550 jerky ingredients. Initially, I thought we would get to 700 ingredients, but no more than 800 ingredients. Well, over 1,200 jerky reviews later, we have now reviewed 1000 jerky ingredients. If I had known that we would reach 1,000 jerky ingredients reviewed, I am not 100% certain I would have started this jerky Read More

It took over eleven and a half years to review 400 jerky brands. In fairness, some of these jerky brands are meat stick brands, but the majority of them are jerky brands. With 400 jerky brands reviewed, that officially makes us the largest jerky review website in the world. Steve Johnson from www.bestbeefjerky.org has 394 brands listed on his Jerky Brands page. Later in the year, we will hit 800 Read More

One of the first pages I created for this jerky review website was ‘Starting a Jerky Business.’ From 2014 to 2016, it was not uncommon for Starting a Jerky Business to get more page visits than the Jerky Ingredients Home Page. The best part is the comments section, where a wealth of experience is shared. Thinking about starting your own jerky business? Here are some hard earned lessons from experienced makers, many of Read More
