“What’s the beef with beef jerky”.
I am just surmising that it is meat and added salt. Meat is bad, don’t you know! Now, if they could dehydrate say broccoli.. they’d be all for it. (By the way, we love beef jerky!)
The same dehydrator used at home to make jerky can be used to dry fruit and vegetables.
I once made turkey jerky and beef jerky...... terriyaky no less
I also made dried fruit. Pineapple was very good.
They were standard back pack lunch fare
