While this list is alphabetical, it must be no coincidence that Ayoba Droewors are listed first since they are BEYOND amazing and absolutely the best meat sticks I have ever had! They are air-dried beef South African dry sausage made with beef, sea salt, coriander, pepper, cloves, and vinegar. They are carefully mixed stuffed into a natural casing and hung to dry for over five days, making for a crisp, snap when at every bite. You are going to absolutely love these. Find this Whole30 friendly jerky at your local Whole Foods, Giant, Wegmans and Sprouts Farmers Market. Visit the Ayoba Amazon store.

Brooklyn Biltong makes its seasoned, dried grass-fed biltong meat in Brooklyn. Biltong slices are traditionally cut to include a fine layer of fat which maintains the meat’s tender flavor.  The jerky is made from fine cuts of beef which are rubbed with vinegar & spices before being hung to naturally dry which maintains the meat’s natural, tender flavor. The meat is tender, flavorful, and really lean. We’re sure you’ll love it as much as we did. It’s free of additives, colorings, MSG, or nitrates. This Biltong jerky is flavorful and easy to chew because is dried with air instead of heat, making it much more tender than traditional jerky. Visit the Brooklyn Biltong Amazon store.

I’m normally not a fan of jalapeño, but these have the perfect amount of kick without being overly spicy. In fact, they are my favorite flavor.

Sophia's Survival Food makes clean ingredient beef jerky from hormone free, 100% grass-fed beef. FREE of gluten, soy, dairy, artificial preservatives, and refined sugar. It's the perfect snack for people following Paleo, 21 Day Sugar Detox, Low Carb, and it's Whole 30 Approved. The flavor ingredients are simple for all three flavors, Original (Redmond unrefined sea salt and vinegar), Mild (Redmond unrefined sea salt, granulated garlic, black pepper, and organic lemon juice) and Spicy (Redmond unrefined sea salt, granulated garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and organic lemon juice). The original flavor is my personal favorite because the vinegar makes the beef more tender than the other varieties. If you prefer heat, we recommend the Spicy flavor.
