Whether it’s for a birthday, holiday, or party, it seems like we’re always buying gifts for people all year round. If you are having trouble thinking of the perfect gift to give your father, friend, daughter, son, niece, uncle, or anyone else in your life, give the gift of jerky. Jerky comes in many tantalizing flavors and varieties, allowing you to pick the right option for the right person easily, every time. With so many types to choose from, you can even give jerky as a gift to the same person in a different flavor and it’ll be like a completely different gift each time. Here are just a few of the many reasons why beef jerky makes a wonderful gift for everyone you know.
1. Jerky is Healthy
Despite what you might think, jerky is actually very healthy! Instead of giving friends and family candy and chocolate, try baskets brimming with jerky. A single serving of beef jerky contains between 9 and 15 grams of protein, and it’s 97 percent fat-free. The snack is also very low in calories and otherwise nutrient-dense. It easily fills you up without increasing your caloric intake very much. AskMen.com even ranked the foodstuff as the No. 1 protein snack in today’s market. Jerky does require salt to make, but low-sodium options are available. If you want an even healthier jerky variety, try Elk, Bison, or Venison jerky. These jerky types have the same great flavor and texture as beef jerky but with even more protein and iron and even less cholesterol and fat. Your friends and family will thank you for a healthy snack that tastes great.
2. Jerky Makes for a Convenient Snack or Meal
Jerky is a very convenient snack or meal that you can take with you on the go. Because moisture and fat are removed from the meat during the preservation process, jerky can last for a really long time and does not need to be kept refrigerated, cooked, or reheated. There is no fear of spoilage or spillage, so there’s not need to bring a special container or ice when packing beef jerky for a trip. Your adventurous friends and family can simply throw a bag in their backpack or in the car for a mess-free snack that will sustain them during a long hike or road trip. Crockett Creek makes jerky even more convenient by packaging our jerky in a resealable zipper package, meaning it can be enjoyed all at once or over the course of multiple days. Jerky is the ultimate gift for hikers, campers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone else who is always on the go because of its convenience and portability.
3. There are Lots of Jerky Options Available
Jerky comes in a wide variety of options. For example, in addition to beef jerky, there are also venison jerky, buffalo jerky, and elk jerky varieties available. For your outdoorsy friends and family who like wild game, create a gift basket that includes venison, buffalo, elk, and beef options. They will surely be excited to try these more adventurous jerkies. There are also so many different flavors of beef jerky out there, so you can easily find something that each person will enjoy. At Crockett Creek, we have everything you could need, from our Cajun-style Bayou Boil to the ever-classic Teriyaki to our extreme Fire for brave souls. For savory options, try Steakhouse, Peppered, Garlic, or Ol’ Smoky. If you have a friend who likes a little spice in their life, give them the gift of Sweet N’ Spicy or Honey Jalapeno. No matter what kind of palate your friend or family member has, you can find something that they will love. And for the friend who likes it all, create a gift basket with a variety of beef jerky flavors for them to try.
4. Jerky is a Unique Gift That Shows Thoughtfulness
Instead of giving your friends and family something generic and boring like a gift card or coffee mug, give them something unique that they can really use and enjoy. They will be surprised to see jerky and will be excited to see what it tastes like. It’ll be even more exciting if you give them a variety of flavors because they will look forward to taste-testing them all to see which is their favorite. Jerky also shows that you care about the person because it is much healthier than other foods that are usually given as gifts, such as chocolates and candy. You will be giving your friend or family member something that they can enjoy and use as a healthy snack or meal anytime and anywhere.
