PGI Welsh Beef
Simply put, PGI means the guarantee that the distinctive flavour of Welsh beef that is lovingly used in our jerky, is unique.
PGI status is made up of a combination of things: Farming practices, Environment and Traceability.
From our rich grass, clean air & mountain streams and the blend of traditional & innovative farming practise, Welsh beef is reared uniquely – giving it the distinctive flavour that PGI – Protected Geographical Indication – recognises.
The PGI mark guarantees that the production, processing and preparation of the food is of the highest quality. And that’s what goes into every fibre of our Get Jerky products, making it the protein-packed, flavour-filled snack it is.
The European Commission awards PGI, that’s given to only the best foods in order to protect and promote high-quality regional food products – that have a reputation or certain characteristics specific to that area.
As we produce our jerky with our very own hands, we want to ensure that all elements of our product are of the highest quality, including the core ingredient…BEEF!
The PGI status not only guarantees quality, but means we can guarantee authenticity, integrity & traceability too.
With PGI – You Can Trace Your Meat All the Way from Farm to Fork
You can find out how it was reared and what country it was produced in. In addition to this, it also helps promote local and agricultural activity and gives you the awareness of knowing your meat is from the best place.
We pride ourselves on knowing exactly where our quality Welsh beef comes from, knowing it’s prepared and packaged with the most care possible to produce super scrummy Jerky. All the good stuff that goes in, means you get Beef Jerky that contains 19g of protein per pack, aids recovery after physical activity, is low-fat at just 119 calories per pack and of course, is completely delicious.
From Welsh grass to your hard graft, we’ve got you covered.
Beefy Benefits
There are plenty of benefits to eating beef, but not everyone realises just how important beef is towards maintaining a healthy body and mind with a well-balanced diet.
At Get Jerky, we work hard to ensure that we are sourcing the best quality Welsh PGI Beef, that we can get our hands on, to make the finest artisan handmade beef jerky.
So not only does our beef jerky taste great in a range of fantastic flavours, but it is also good for you:
- Beef is a key source of protein, which helps promote muscle growth, repair and supports muscle mass and each of our bags containing up 19g of protein.
- Beef is a great source of iron which helps your immune system. A lack of iron can lead to anaemia.
- Beef also provides essential vitamins such as niacin, riboflavin, vitamins B6 and B12 which helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
- Beef has essential vitamins and minerals that support good health and well-being.
- And Beef is a rich source of zinc, which supports normal hair, nails and skin. And also supports normal cognitive function and fertility.
Don’t just take our word for it as 95% of healthcare professionals who attended a medical conference in Cardiff recently “recommend red meat as part of a healthy and balanced diet”
Gluten Free
When we set out to make the best quality beef Jerky around, to us, that means making it fit for any and everyone! That’s why we ensure the way our jerky gets produced makes all of it gluten free!
Like many with allergens, those with Coeliac – that’s the medical name for your immune system reacting to gluten in a damaging way – struggle with finding gourmet snacks that suit their diet. With gluten in so many processed foods, grains, breads & other snacks, it can be hard to find snacks that suit, even in some supermarkets.
That’s not the case with Get Jerky though, as all our products are gluten free.
Gluten is a bunch of proteins found in grains that make up so much of food that is widely produced – such as wheat, rye & barley. It’s called gluten because of the glue-like nature of it – it’s the stuff that makes bread & other foodstuffs elastic. But for those who are coeliac, it can mean lots of uncomfortable symptoms. As well as being in bread, beers & other foodstuffs, gluten is often found in sauces & marinades used to flavour meat, including Jerky. Many marinades contain gluten in their ingredients (dried meat itself is always gluten free!), and means loads of Jerky brands are not gluten free.
Luckily – that is not the case with Get Jerky. All 8 of our flavours are suitable for gluten free diets – packing only the right proteins that everyone wants to power their day.
The ‘Go To’ Snack for Sports People
Jerky is a great snack for athletes to power them through
- Good for Recovery & Building Muscle
Each 40g of Get Jerky Original Beef Jerky contains 19g of protein.
These high levels of protein provide the essential amino acids that muscles need to repair and rebuild. This not only allows you to recover from exercise, but also helps you get stronger over time.
High Zinc levels in jerky also contributes to muscle strength & recovery, as well as improved sleep and increased immunity – which is particularly great for endurance athletes.
- Energising
The body can also use protein as a source of energy. The combination of protein, iron & zinc which jerky delivers in bucket-loads, translates into a powerhouse for athletes.
- Convenient
Our jerky doesn’t need to be refrigerated, comes in small, thin pouches, and is now even re-sealable – it doesn’t get much more convenient than that.
These features make it the ultimate on-the-go, high protein snack …. whether you’re hitting the gym or heading off mountain biking.
Jerky is also great for the adventurer in you – where you may be heading off for a period of time so have limited access to fresh food but need your hit of protein!
- Low Calorie
A pouch of Get Jerky Original Beef jerky, for example, has 120 calories per 50g pack!
This is great news for those athletes who want to lose weight, maintain a healthy weight, or need to replace calories after a light workout!
The Ideal Running Snack
Our beef and venison jerky makes for perfect company while you’re outdoors in your running gear or doing kilometres on the treadmill. As I’m sure you already know, our jerky is packed full of protein, this makes it an ideal snack to strengthen muscles and keep energy levels high! To use our Original flavoured beef jerky as an example, you get 1,262kJ (299kcal) per 100g of jerky, an energy value which is similar for all of our flavours.
“It’s great to have a snack handy on the road that I can reseal. Running and tackling Wales’ mountains, it’s vital to get carbohydrates & protein within 20 minutes for maximum effect. Get Jerky allows me to get my protein needs straight away – and it tastes great too!”
Andrew Davies, Welsh International Marathon Runner
