                                Dehydrated beef, often in the form of jerky, has been a staple for centuries, but many question its nutritional integrity. Contrary to some beliefs, most of the core nutritional value of beef is retained during the dehydration process. The primary change is the removal of water, which concentrates the remaining nutrients and calories.
