People’s Choice Beef Jerky – Old Fashioned – Hot & Spicy – Sugar Free, Zero Carb, 15g Protein, Keto Friendly – Dry Texture – Made in USA – 1 Pound (16 oz) Bag

This is some of, if not, the best beef jerky I’ve ever had. It’s the way jerky is supposed to be: dry and fibrous. Only about 1% of the jerky on the market is like this, and it’s the real deal. The previous best jerky I’d had was from a local health food store in Richmond, VA that was made in house, but I don’t live there anymore and they stopped making it. The next closest is the No Man’s Land jerky, but this is better in my opinion.You might see the 3.8 review average and second guess it, but that’s because people are so used to the mass produced “jerky” like Jack Links or the other wet, translucent, garbage that’s in most gas stations across America. People just aren’t used to real jerky.I got my first 1 pound bag last week and finished it in two days, which was fiscally irresponsible, but it’s just too good. I immediately ordered more and got two more bags yesterday and am already halfway through my second bag. I have to slow down before I go bankrupt, but I’ll probably never spend money trying other jerky again, because I’ve found what I want. I’ve been searching for this since I moved to Montana and I’ve found my forever jerky. I don’t usually write reviews, but this stuff deserves to have the record set straight. 3.8 stars is a joke. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. This is the best thing to come out of LA since Magic Johnson.Don’t listen to the plebeians with no taste. McDonald’s is the most popular restaurant in America, doesn’t make it good..

I usually buy the slabs which are DELICIOUS!!!!! Probably some the best beef jerky I've ever had. But this time I decided to try some of their other options and got this. This beef jerky is NOT good. It was too dry and overly salty. Very disappointed, especially since beef jerky is a pretty expensive snack compared to other stuff. I'll be sticking to the slabs in the future. I got this and also the Carne Seca Chipotle beef jerky. Both were the same type of bad, although the Carne Seca was at least a little less dry and salty. I'm pretty confused as to how this product can be so completely different from the slabs. The slabs are SOOOOO GOOD. Almost too good, cause I go through the bag so quickly. These two I don't even really want to eat.

This is an excellent quality beef jerky. I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to beef jerky. I like good quality and a good dry jerky. I am not a fan of this moist chewy stuff that people pass as beef jerky these days, so if that is what you are a fan of, you won't like this. That being said, if you are like me, this stuff is the real deal. Full strips of beef, perfectly dried for darn near perfect jerky. As far as this flavor/seasoning, it is very mild for "hot and spicy". Now I like really hot spice, so I'd say this is a 2 or 3 on a scale of 10 for heat. Flavor is spot on, just not very "spicy" but that also may not be your thing. Overall, I am extremely satisfied and would highly recommend this product. I have had several of their flavors and they are all excellent quality and will indeed purchase again.

I've been wasting far too much money at the work vending machine, so I bought this beef jerky as a healthy alternative.I've read some people's complaints about its dryness. I actually like it. It makes the price much better too, because you're not paying for moisture. You get more actual meat for the price. Also it moistens up quicky as you chew it.The flavor is great and I feel very satisfied after eating it.

My taste buds know spicy; they love spicy! So I was a bit disappointed to find out that the spice level here was . . . bland to me. That's not to say it's not tasty. It is definitely tasty that but spice, heat? It's limited. For those with little tolerance for hot foods it may be but for those of us who seek out hot and spicy, well, that part will disappoint. So with reluctance I reduced my rating by one star for a promise I felt it didn't keep.Other than that, though, this is a top item. The blend of spices (and maybe herbs) used produces a complex taste sensation. I could not discern any particular flavor which means there is no overwhelming taste of one or perhaps two things. You taste the flavored meat and it's absolutely delicious but you will not find yourself saying, "It has soy sauce" or "It has a hint of liquid smoke." Or, worse, brown sugar, a common ingredient in many jerkys, dominates. Not here, thankfully. Absolutely no sugar. Yay! (I loathe savory items that are sweet such as teriyaki.)This jerky is not like others I have eaten; it bites through easily without you having to use your teeth to rip it apart. It chews with just the right amount of bite. It is taking all my effort to make this large bag last as long as possible because my inclination is to devour it. But no, I intend to stretch it out. It also won't get shared. Because jerky is expensive to make and to buy, I'll keep this for myself alone. It may be a bit selfish--but I paid for it.Very highly recommended!

Sometimes, the jerky is amazing and a clear 5/5. Other times, like my most recent order, the jerky is incredibly dry, and I'd rate it only a 1 or 2 out of 5. It is very frustrating that their quality control is so inconsistent and I never know what I will get.

Texture is good, nice and dry. Flavor is very bland, not spicy at all. Mainly just tastes like dried beef.
