Our family loves to snack. A lot. My six year old’s favorite after school treat is a picnic in the living room with four or five different options. When you’re dealing with a family who loves to grab a quick bite several times a day, you have to make sure you’re stocking some healthy options. That can be tough. Your kids want something that tastes great and feels more like a snack and less like “something mom said I need to eat”. But you want to be tender and make them happy right? Jerky in a wide variety of flavors (including sweet!) can be a great compromise. While it may be thought of as a staple food for a man cave or an afternoon hike, it’s a great addition to any snack menu – for all ages.
Ball Park Jerky: Tough vs Tender
Meat jerky is a nutrient-packed super food, but thanks to the drying process – not all are created equal. Some brands offer over-dried, ground meat processing which leaves you with a tougher mouthful to chew. Ball Park brand, the makers of America’s favorite beef hot dog*, has just launched NEW Ball Park The Flame Grilled Jerky are cuts of lean beef or pork that are dried to be tough, but then grilled on an open flame for a tender, char-grilled taste. Before you even get into the taste, you can actually see the quality of the Ball Park jerky. Large, easily chewable pieces without all the crumble and rough, dry texture other jerky has. BallPark Jerky also offers the bonus of Gluten Free without sacrificing any of the five tasty flavors.
Ball Park offers FIVE flavors to satisfy even the most picky of snackers: Original Beef, Bourbon BBQ Beef, Peppered Beef, Barbecue Pork, and Teriyaki Pork.
My favorite has to be the Teriyaki Pork and Barbecue Pork. It’s a little bit softer than the beef varieties and the flavors are amazing. You can tell the spices are grilled into every bite. And they go the extra mile to ensure that you have an authentic flavor experience with things like real Kentucky Bourbon in their Bourbon BBQ Pork, Tamari soy sauce included in the Teriyaki and using real sugar and brown sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

Each 1 0z. serving of Ball Park The Flame Grilled Jerky contains less than 100 calories, at least 8 grams of protein and less than 7 grams of sugar. Ball Park Flame Grilled Jerky offers less sodium and sugar than other brands while being gluten and MSG free.
