Personally, I'm a huge fan of jerky for a few reasons:
1) It doesn't require refrigeration nor does it require utensils, which makes it a great snack choice when traveling
2) Meat jerky is typically high in protein and low in fat
3) I love the taste!
Being that I fancy myself a jerky connoisseur, I was pretty excited to have the opportunity to review Jerky.com's product.
Now for the surprise. What I was sent to review was actually Pineapple Jerky!
Out of the bag the first thing I noticed about the Pineapple Jerky was that it looked like a pretty, dried flower. I quickly checked the ingredient to make certain it was actually Pineapple. I liked what I saw. This product contains two ingredients - Pineapple and Honey.
I also noticed that the jerky was produced in Maui, so we're talking about Hawaiian pineapples as the primary ingredient.
Being that my personal tastes lean towards savory rather than sweet, I recruited two of my neighbors, both who have a major sweet tooth, to participate in this review.
The slices are very thing, very chewy and have a pronounced, sweet pineapple taste. If honey wasn't listed as an ingredient on the packaging, I wouldn't have thought any sweetener was used.
My Two Cents:
As far as dried fruit goes, I thought this was good. Dried pineapple I've had in the past has had a sugary coating and quiet honestly, didn't taste anything like pineapple.
There is no mistaking the taste of this Pineapple Jerky - the pineapple comes shining through.
And my neighbors review? Let's just say that they began arguing over who should get the last piece (I ended up getting out a knife and cutting it in half for them).
My hopes are that a nice big box of Turkey Jerky and Beef Sticks show up at my doorstep in the not too distant future. No neighbors required for those reviews!
In the meantime, if you're in the market for Pineapple Jerky, Jerky.com is the real deal.
Train hard; stay strong.
Peace.

If you have a sweet tooth ... the Pineapple Jerky is absolutely a healthy alternative to candy!!
I couldn't agree more with you Susan. The minute you posted this I ordered it. I HATE the sugary processed dried pineapple they sell in stores. You would think they would've figured out how to make something this delicious a long time ago. I LOVE it! This is exactly what a sweet fiene like me needs, thank you:)
Melissa, so glad you enjoyed the product!! I'm going to see what type of special offers I can get for CatapultFitnessBlog readers, so stay tuned!!!!
