Extruded beef jerky is a type of dried meat snack made from ground beef rather than whole muscle cuts. The beef is finely ground, blended with seasonings and spices, and then shaped using an extrusion process that forms consistent strips, sticks, or shapes. These formed pieces are then dried or dehydrated to achieve the chewy texture and long shelf life that jerky is known for. Extruded beef jerky tends to have a uniform appearance and texture, making it convenient and easy to eat. It's a popular option for on-the-go snacking, providing protein and flavor in every bite
