Jerky John's Review and Giveaway (Best Beef Jerky)

If you haven't tasted beef jerky from Jerky John's you are really missing out! Jerky John's was started by a Paratrooper in the United States Army in 1994 by John Keller. Their jerky is 75% less sodium than the major brands and has no added MSG. Jerky John's is the health of your alternative to beef jerky snacking. Each jerky flavor is marinated with top quality ingredients and dried to perfection using only 100% USDA Top Round whole muscle beef. Many companies pre-inject their beef with additives (i.e. sugars, salts etc.) prior to the drying process to give the beef added weight...but NOT Jerky John's. They use name brand ingredients in their  marinades like Heinz, Kikkoman and C&H
For my review. I received the following products from Jerky John's:
  • Jerky John's Pacific Teriyaki - Combines the very best of multiple styles of teriyaki. The flavor is enhanced with various spices and a hint of soy. I love teriyaki beef jerky and this is the absolute best I've ever tasted! Only $6.99
  • Jerky John's Cayenne Hot - Offers a flavor that will touch every taste bud in your mouth. Combined of many spices to include cayenne pepper that will give you a taste that is unmatched for hot jerky. This is my absolute favorite. I love hot jerky but this was so mouth watering and tender. I had a hard time putting it down until the bag was completely gone. Only $6.99
  • Jerky John's Black Pepper is for those that love to pepper all their foods. The taste is not just that of the black pepper but a mixture of marinades and spices to enhance your enjoyment. This was my husband's favorite. He is a black pepper jerky fanatic but said this was the best he had tasted! Only $6.99
  • Jerky John's American Original is our most neutral flavor blending a mix of spices with a hint of brown sugar. You can enjoy the American Original flavor anytime throughout the day. The grandkids just like this one. They really didn't leave me much to try , but I did manage to get a few pieces. It has a hint of sweetness to it. 
Jerky John's also has a package called "Ship to a Soldier". Give thanks to a soldier who is defending our freedom. If you don't know a soldier they will choose one from their list. Pick any four bags of our 4oz size and they will ship it to any soldier in the world for $25 including shipping. Each "Ship to a Soldier" includes a letter with your address thanking that soldier for their service. Remember freedom isn't free.
One of my readers will win the same products as I reviewed...all 4 of them! That is a total of 1 lb of jerky. All of my readers will receive 25% off of orders $25 or more using code LAUNCH.
