Jerky Reviews
The next fun milestone to celebrate here at Jerky Ingredients is 700 Jerky Tags created to date (June 24/2018), including 60 Jerky Categories. As a basic description, a Jerky Tag is descriptive, and a Jerky Category is generalized. There is a maximum of around only 100 Jerky Categories available, but Jerky Tags are unlimited.

Our next milestone to celebrate is a fun fact. While it took almost 4 ½ years to accomplish this latest feat, we have reviewed over 400 jerky flavor names to date. For any jerky maker thinking of adding a new flavor name, our Jerky Flavors page is a great place to start for getting ideas on jerky flavor names.
This Jerky Flavors page is broken down into jerky flavor tags, and then the actual jerky flavor names. A jerky flavor tag as a general rule is created when Read More
We are excited and proud as ever. It took nearly 4 ½ years to accomplish this latest milestone, we have 600 jerky reviews published to date and counting. When we first started this jerky review website in January 2014, our jerky collection was approximately 600 bags, and it has now grown to more than 1,200 unique bags.
After all this time, we occasionally have no other choice but to implement temporary jerky submission freezes. This allows us to get caught up with our Read More
We here at Jerky Ingredients are proud of this accomplishment, where only one other person in the world can make this claim. To date, we have received over 400 jerky bags submitted for review from jerky makers across 7 different countries.
We have always viewed jerky submissions as a win-win situation. Jerky makers get free publicity apart from the wholesale cost of the jerky itself and shipping charges. For us, we are given the privilege Read More
In March 2014, my family picked up our female Whippet puppy near London, Ontario, Canada, which we named Lexi. Never wasting an opportunity to explore new jerky brands, I found jerky at Bob’s Ultimate Meats at a flea market in London. Ever since then, Lexi has now sampled hundreds of jerky flavors, making our Whippet Lexi the current world leader in all dog breeds. Lexi is the official mascot of Jerky Ingredients.

As of late November 2017, we have a new guest jerky reviewer with Stéphane “Clerc Kent” Leclerc. Since January 2014, I have been writing all of the taste reviews. In June 2014, my cousin Paul “The Rekking Ball” Rekker joined me in doing the taste reviews. For each taste review, Paul would send me his taste review. Using both of our combined opinions, I, Mark “Jerky Us” Read More
Four years later, and we are still at it pumping out jerky reviews. We purchased the domain name www.jerkyingredients.com way back in 2011. After years of procrastination, I finally got this jerky review web site up and running in January 2014. Foolishly, I borrowed the jerkyingredients.com domain name to track our various NFL football pools before starting this jerky review web site, which still confuses Google Analytics to this day.
This jerky review web site has been a constant Read More
After almost four years, $4,000 of jerky has been reviewed. That would work out to around $1,000 of jerky reviewed per year. In total, it took 575 bags of jerky to reach $4,000. That would work out to an average price of $6.95 per jerky bag.
For example, if a jerky maker sent us two 3oz bags of the same flavor, it would only count as Read More
As a first here at Jerky Ingredients, our web site was hacked on Tuesday, October 17, 2017. On Thursday evening, everything was restored back to normal. Perhaps we will consider this as a compliment that our web site was important enough to be hacked in the first place. As far as web site hacks go, this could have been worse. If anything, it was a good learning experience. Back to concentrating on jerky reviews.
