#冬日生活打卡季#

Approaching the end of the year, many people take advantage of the good weather, began to dry beef jerky and other cured food, there are many areas in Jiangxi, people especially like to dry beef jerky, the dried beef jerky, preservation, used to entertain guests during the Spring Festival, reflecting the hospitality of the host's family.

Recently, my mother also wants to dry beef jerky, but I think it is too troublesome to dry beef jerky, so it is better to buy it directly online, and the online price is more affordable.

Why is there 60 pieces of fresh beef per catty, but only 30 pieces of beef jerky on the Internet?

I went to the vegetable market to look at the price of fresh beef, and compared the beef jerky on the Internet, I found a strange phenomenon: "Why is fresh beef 60 yuan a catty, but only 30 yuan a pound of beef jerky online?"

I was very puzzled by this, so I consulted a friend who made beef jerky on the Internet, and the store revealed 3 truths, and after listening to my friend's analysis, I decided to let my mother go to dry beef jerky to be more reliable.

1. The source of beef is different

Why is there 60 pieces of fresh beef per catty, but only 30 pieces of beef jerky on the Internet?

If you dry the beef jerky yourself, a pound of fresh beef can dry about 5 taels of beef jerky, which means that after drying, the beef jerky will shrink by nearly half.

In addition, before drying beef jerky, it is also necessary to marinate the beef jerky, and the process of drying also requires manpower and material resources and other expenses, so it stands to reason that the price of a pound of beef jerky should not be less than 60 yuan.

But on the Internet, you can see that a lot of beef jerky only costs 30 yuan a catty, and some are even more than 20 yuan, so what's going on behind this?

Why is there 60 pieces of fresh beef per catty, but only 30 pieces of beef jerky on the Internet?

The store that makes beef jerky revealed that it is because the source of beef is different, and the beef jerky sold online is generally made with frozen beef, and some even store frozen beef for more than 10 years.

These frozen beefs are cheaper than fresh beef, and if you buy them in large quantities, you can even get them for less than 20 yuan, and you can make a lot of profits after drying them.

2. The processing method is different

Why is there 60 pieces of fresh beef per catty, but only 30 pieces of beef jerky on the Internet?

The processing method of beef jerky made at home is relatively simple, generally adding salt, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, or some spicy seasonings, marinating and flavoring, and then putting the beef into the sun to dry.

However, the processing method of beef jerky on the Internet is different, and these food processing plants do not directly dry the beef, but bake it directly.

In order to get more profits, when processing and making beef jerky, other "black technologies" such as ground meat, starch, additives, flavor substances and other "black technologies" are often added to it, so that the beef jerky increases its weight, and there is not much beef that is actually put in.

In this way, beef jerky can greatly reduce production costs, so as to obtain more considerable profits, so you will find that the taste of beef jerky bought online is completely different from that of home.

3. The sales channels are different

Why is there 60 pieces of fresh beef per catty, but only 30 pieces of beef jerky on the Internet?

The beef jerky that you dry yourself is often in the vegetable market, and you can see people setting up stalls to sell it at the entrance of the community, and the price is often relatively expensive, costing more than eighty or ninety yuan.

The online beef jerky sales channels are different, taking the online shopping e-commerce platform, without the high rent of physical stores, without excessive labor costs, and facing customers are nationwide, even if through small profits and quick turnover, you can also get very good profits.

Therefore, the price of beef jerky on the Internet will be more affordable, and it is still okay to buy it occasionally to try it, but if you want to buy some beef jerky for your children and parents to eat, then it is recommended that you post it yourself to be more reliable.
