Jack Link's Organic Beef Jerky - Original Hither in Southern California, I've even so to find Jack Link's Organic jerky. I hateful, there's tons of Jack Link'due south regular jerky, but finding their organic line has been tough. And since a number of you have wanted to run across more than organic jerky on here, and even 1 person wanted to run into more Jack Link'south reviews, I sought about finding more organic stuff.

I finally found a purse of Jack Link's Organic while visiting Washington Land before this month at a Greenfresh Market in Renton, WA. Information technology carries the USDA Organic seal, and says that it's also certified organic by Oregon Tilth.

In the few brands of organic jerky that I've had thus far, there's isn't whatsoever kind of benefit in gustatory modality or texture that I can tell. It's mostly just an ideological thing, or religious thing, or political thing. I dunno, since I'chiliad non necessarily into the organic thing.

Ingredients

*Beefiness, water, *evaporated cane juice, *soy sauce pulverization (*wheat, *soybeans, salt, *maltodextrin), *corn syrup solids, salt, *black pepper, *garlic, *onion.

* organic ingredients

Gustatory modality

The tastes I get from the surface is a slight sweet flavor followed by a smoky flavour. In that location's also a faint saltiness. Moving into the chewing, I don't actually taste any much more than.

Balmy, banal, tasteless, are words that come into my heed with this jerky.

I think that afterwards a few pieces, the predominant gustatory modality of this is the table salt. It's a mild, lite tasting saltiness. I don't really taste the "soy sauce powder", or at least I can't detect the gustation i commonly identifies as soy sauce.

If there'southward a secondary taste, it would be the slight sweetness off the surface, with the third taste existence the smokiness.

For the most part, I don't really find any meat flavors in this. However, I did find some smaller, moister pieces, that did requite off a light taste of meat. Some pieces had streaks of fat, or a decent amount of marbilization, that gave off a more "beefy" taste. Overall nevertheless, this jerky offers near no natural meat flavors.

As for the black pepper and garlic mentioned in the ingredients list, I do sense their aftertaste in the back of my oral fissure throughout eating these pieces, only even those are lite tastes equally well.

Meat Consistency

These appear to exist slices of whole meat, sliced boilerplate thickness, and in minor to medium sized pieces.

This is a soft and tender manner of hasty that retains a slight chip of moisture. These pieces are all like shooting fish in a barrel to tear apart and like shooting fish in a barrel to chew.

The chewing feel is rather lackluster, not really providing a steak-like feel. Even though information technology's whole meat, it seems to chew more like a chopped & formed jerky. There's a large piece depicted in the photos beneath that has a very gelatinous texture, like "gummy hasty". That piece chews like soft condom.

It's a fairly clean jerky, though it leaves a very fine flick of oil on my fingers, merely nothing that needs to be wiped off. Nevertheless, that one gelled piece has more oil than the others, and did require some finger wiping.

I as well found a fair amount of fat on these pieces, including some with a practiced amount of marbilization. Just otherwise no tendon or gristle.

Snack Value

I paid $7.99 for this iii ounce package at a Greenfresh Market in Renton, WA. That works out to a price of $2.67 per ounce, making this an expensive buy.

For general jerky snacking purposes, it has a poor value. Information technology'south banal gustatory modality, lack of meat flavors, and lackluster chewing texture, combined with its high price, makes this a difficult proposition for your snacking dollar. Even if it were priced effectually $1.50 per ounce, I'd find it difficult to justify. Maybe priced at $0.99 per ounce, I could purchase it merely as a low-carb/low-fat dieting assist.

Equally an organic jerky, it has better value, since you're getting something certified organic. And since organic jerky is in much shorter supply, information technology mayhap warrants the higher cost, and fifty-fifty though its poor on snack value, it's what you may take to deal with if you desire organic beef jerky.

Rating

I'm giving this a off-white rating.

This hasty's only saving grace is that information technology's easy to eat, and that it doesn't gustatory modality bad.

But it doesn't necessarily taste good either. In fact, it'due south weakness in gustation, and its lackluster chewing texture takes much of the snackability abroad from this. If I can't at least find myself wanting another piece, then I tin't give information technology the higher average rating.

You'd think that with organic beef jerky one would get a not bad gustatory modality of beef, the way nature intended information technology to taste, free of any homo influence. Actually, of the few certified organic jerkies I've had, I haven't found whatsoever that actually tastes like meat. So I guess the folks at Jack Link's need not worry.

My beer recommendation with this is a strong flavored, IPA.
