Papain and bromelain are enzyme tenderizers added to soften the protein structure in cheaper cuts of mrat, so the texture in a lot of commercial jerky is the additive compensating for the quality of the source material rather than simply sourcing good quality meat.
Every "keto-friendly" product is just another label promising you it's fine. We skipped the label. Beef bits is just beef and salt.
"Natural flavors" is a regulatory category that legally allows almost anything derived from a natural source, which means seeing it on an ingredients list tells you something was added for flavor while telling you nothing about what that something actually is. image
In 1972, Finland launched the North Karelia Project, built on Ancel Keys's fat hypothesis, telling Finns to cut red meat and replace it with carbohydrates. The project ran for decades and was cited globally as proof the low-fat diet worked. We source Finnish grass-fed beef.
It's not jerky. Jerky has sugar, soy sauce, tenderizers, and preservatives. Ours has beef and salt. Not a cleaner version of jerky. It is a different category.
GM! There is a version of beef bits that is cheaper to produce, ships further, lasts longer on shelf, and you can find it in every airport terminal under a different name with seventeen ingredients.
Sodium nitrite preserves the meat color in commercial jerky and prevents botulism at scale, which sounds like a safety feature until you realize it's compensating for moisture levels that proper drying done long enough and at the right temperature, would have made unnecessary.
GM! The same mindset that leads people to sound money leads them to simpler food, and it's not a coincidence.
Rou gan, dried beef salted and traded along Ming dynasty caravan routes, served soldiers on campaign and the imperial court in the same era. Six hundred years later its direct descendant, bak kwa, is still made across East Asia. Salt and heat are still the method.
A "high-protein" beef snack sold across Europe: Beef, Dextrose, Salt, Sugar, Water, Sodium Erythorbate, Sodium Nitrite, Acetic Acid, Garlic Extract, Spices, Natural Flavor, Smoke Flavor, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Carrageenan. This is why Bitcoin Beef Bits exists.
In 1972, British physiologist John Yudkin published research naming sugar, not fat, as the primary driver of heart disease. Ancel Keys called his work a mountain of nonsense. The sugar industry worked on discrediting him. There is no sugar in our beef bits.
Maltodextrin is a processed starch added to snacks marketed as sugar-free for texture and bulk, and it raises blood sugar faster than regular sugar does, which makes the "no added sugar" claim on the front of the package technically accurate but practically meaningless. image
Every batch takes at least 72 hours because that is how long proper drying takes, and the commercial food industry spent decades engineering ways to get it done faster, which is exactly why they need preservatives and we do not. image
Keto: "Is it low-carb?" Carnivore: "Is it animal-based?" BBB: beef and salt. Passes both tests. No thinking required.
The typical beef bits customer already read up on seed oils, processed food, and industrial meat before they found us. There's no explanation needed when there's only two ingredients. 🥩⚡
Most salt used commercially is refined: heated, bleached, stripped of trace minerals, and mixed with anti-caking agents. Unrefined Atlantic sea salt keeps the trace minerals and the flavor. These small details matter. Use code SPRING10 for 10% off: www.bitcoinbeefbits.com
One scientific body approves Europe's food additives, permitted health claims, and dietary guidelines. In 2012, researchers found half its expert panel scientists had undisclosed ties to food and chemical companies. Declaring conflicts was not required. Make of this what you will.
Indigenous peoples of the North American Great Plains made pemmican by drying bison, pounding it to powder, and mixing it with fat and berries. Calorie-dense fuel that could sustain hunters for weeks. Civilizations have dried meat for centuries and beef bits is how we do it.
