Jerky is an attractive snack for athletes.
For one, it's high in protein. But unlike other meat-based foods, jerky doesn't have to be refrigerated. That makes it a convenient and easy on-the-go snack. Combine that with the fact that jerky tastes pretty darn good, and it's not hard to see why it's so popular. But is it actually healthy? Or is jerky just another junk food that's unjustly earned a good reputation?
Jerky is a simple food. It's defined as "meat that has been cut into long strips and dried." To make a basic jerky, all one needs is meat, salt and a low-temperature drying method. Jerky is naturally lean thanks to its low fat content. Since fat doesn't dry, most of it must be trimmed off before the drying process.
Chicken - the miracle meat
Chicken is one of those meat items that finds its place in all Indian meals. A favorite among all age groups, chicken is not only easily available, but is also nutritious and healthy if consumed in right quantities.
Nutritional value of chicken
While chicken is a lean meat with loads of proteins, it is also high on cholesterol. However, chicken provides selenium which contains antioxidants that help control free radicals and improve your immune system.
