Be Free For Me Blog

I just love the Beef Jerky. In fact, you could probably call me a Beef Jerky Junkie. Low fat and high protein all rolled into one. When I’m feeling hungry just one or two strips will do the trick.

But since going gluten-free I discovered that most beef jerky contains gluten. So this jerky-loving gal was so excited when I found my new favorite beef jerky… Field Trip Beef Jerky.

The beef jerky comes in six (6) flavors: Original, Cracked Pepper, Crushed Chilies, Honey Spice, Roasted Sesame and Teriyaki.

Here is what the Field Trip website says about being gluten-free… “For years jerky producers have used soy sauces and other ingredients that contain wheat. There is no need for this in jerky. Our jerky uses a gluten free reduced sodium soy sauce. We have tested all of our products for gluten and our product contains less than 5 ppm of wheat.”

And not only is this jerky gluten-free – it also is free of so much other junk! It contains NO preservatives, added MSG, nitrates and corn syrup. In other words, it’s a beef jerky you can feel good about eating!

Ready-to-eat and never requiring refrigeration, these snacks are great for lunch kits, back-packs and for a quick snack right before, or after, the gym.

This week’s Friday Favorite on BeFreeForMe.com is awarded to Golden Valley Organic Beef Jerky.

If you’re a beef jerky fan you know that most beef jerky contains gluten. There seems to be gluten on every single ingredient label you check. BUT – Golden Valley Organic Beef Jerky is gluten-free! Celebrate gluten-free jerky fans!

Not only is this jerky gluten-free – it also contains no MSG, preservatives, nitrates or artificial ingredients. Another added bonus is that they are made with organic beef, which is fed organic feed, and raised without added hormones.

All good stuff.

I am a huge fan of Golden Valley Organic Beef Jerky. I’ve chatted about Golden Valley Organic products in the past, but never pointed out the fabulous gluten-free beef jerky varieties that Golden Valley has. If you like a basic jerky, the Original is for you, but if you’re looking for a spice, go with the Black Pepper. If a punch of flavor is your thing grab the Teriyaki or the BBQ. And last if you like things sweet, but also a tad spicy…  the Sweet & Spicy variety is a sure-bet.

Please note that not all the products Golden Valley make are gluten-free, so as always, check the labels carefully and look for the gluten-free notation. on the label.
