Beef Jerky

This is so incredibly tasty even you jerky skeptics will love it. Here's why: Josh Kace and his team at Slant Shack jerky source their grass-fed cows from Highland Cattle Company in Vermont, where the cows are raised naturally, without hormones. The jerky is then processed without preservatives in the family-owned plant using just the right combination of savory and sweet flavors.

It's completely addictive. And excellent for protein emergencies.
