National Jerky Day Since the early 90s NASA’s space crews have chosen to take jerky as a lightweight, high protein snack. “Jerky” is derived from the Spanish word “Charqui,” which came from Quechua, a Native American language, and it means “to burn meat.” You can use almost any type of meat to make jerky. Although beef is most popular, you can find fish, moose, kangaroo, venison, elk, caribou or even turtle jerky. Meat snacks rank as the fourth highest-grossing sector of salty snacks, outselling pretzels and popcorn. Many European Union countries currently prohibit the importing of meat products like jerky, requiring extensive customs documentation and inspections. #NationalJerkyDay #Jerky #Food #FoodSolutions #FoodService #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #FoodConsultant #FoodDude #FoodOfTheDay #NobertSales @NobertSales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CetE08UgzgA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
