AIP Beef Jerky Recipe

Finding grab-and-go snacks that are aip-compliant can be a chore. That’s why this aip beef jerky gets an A-plus for both portability and taste.

Investing in a Dehydrator

Store bought beef jerky can contain all sorts of ingredients that are, shall we say, less than natural, such as MSG and nitrates. Make it yourself, and you know exactly what healthy ingredients you added.

Curing and preserving meat doesn’t have to be a science experiment. Simple ingredients like salt and vinegar can do the job just fine.

In addition to knowing what’s in your food, in the long run, you can save yourself some cash making your own jerky. Eating healthy can be pricey sometimes, and seeing the “healthier” jerky versions in stores can cause some sticker shock.

So, if you enjoy jerky you might want to consider purchasing a dehydrator. In addition to delicious jerky, there are lots of things you can use them for.

• Kale chips
• Homemade fruit leather
• Making prunes
• Dehydrating pineapple
• Making dried berries
• Dehydrating mushrooms
• Drying herbs
• Drying flowers

So yes, if you don’t already own one, dehydrators are an investment – but you can do a lot with them. On the low end, you can expect to pay $60, but I’d say somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 is more likely for a higher quality machine.

They are quite handy for living the aip life!
