I had already talked about it as one of this year’s trends .
This is the vegan jerky , a vegan snack that imitates the famous beef jerky, that is the snack based on dried and spiced meat that has also become very popular in Italy, and that is found everywhere in America.

But what is jerky vegan?

It is nothing more than a snack similar in appearance to the traditional beef jerky, but which is basically made with vegan ingredients: seitan, or prepared with soy or shiitake mushrooms.

These are the variants currently present in Italy.
Each snack has around 100 calories for around 25-30 grams of product , and is a very satiating snack that is high in protein. Just like dried meat, vegan meat is also available in various flavors, from lime to teriyaki sauce to the more traditional smoked or peanut flavor.

But that is not all. The jerky vegan market in the US seems unstoppable.
While in Italy the company that we can find on Amazon and in other stores is mainly Primal, in the United States some companies have already launched the vegan jerky based on algae or Kelp Jerky.
