Is beef jerky healthy?

Is beef jerky healthy? This is a good question to ask and the answer is not always. So if the question being asked is is beef jerky healthy the answer should cover what constitutes healthy jerky. To make jerky properly you should trim all the fat off the meat before dehydrating it. The protein in the meat is a requirement for a healthy diet and the spices used in the mariande is also good for your metabolism. Some meats require less trimming than others. Typically beef, pork, lamb have more fat on them that wild game so if you want a naturally healthy jerky you should be making deer jerky.
