What makes Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed & Pasture Raised Meat Sticks better than other similar products?

1. Our beef and venison is actually 100% grass fed and finished while others often claim "grass fed" only to finish the cattle and deer on grain for the last few months of their lives. This process of grain finishing is enough to negatively alter the biological makeup of the animal, causing a more inflammatory product with fewer vitamins and nutrients.

2. Our chicken and pork is truly pasture-raised While others often claim "free range" or "natural" the truth is animals raised in this way are often fed mostly GMO grains and live in confinement. We allow our chicken and pigs to forage on pasture, get exercise and sunshine and eat a completely non-GMO diet.

3. Organic spices. Other products typically cut corners and use conventional spices because they are much less expensive. Spices are some of the most beneficial and antioxidant-rich foods on the planet. We do not consider spraying them with pesticides and then irradiating them to be beneficial processes when it comes to your health.

4. No encapsulated citric acid. This is where our meat sticks truly shine. Literally every other similar stick on the market (yes, even the so-called "healthy" ones) contains an ingredients called encapsulated citric acid. While this may sound innocent enough it is actually a very health damaging ingredient used for nothing more than preserving the product. It contain citric acid (sometimes lactic acid) typically derived from GMO corn which is then coated with hydrogenated oil – an ingredient known to cause massive amounts of inflammation. Instead of using this ingredient we use old world style, natural fermentation to preserve our sticks. The result is a delicious stick that is much juicier than others and, thanks to the fermentation process, the presence of gut-friendly probiotics.

Is the organic dextrose used as a sweetener?

We're glad you asked because we use organic dextrose for a very health conscious reason. First, our dextrose is derived from 100% organic cassava root (also known as tapioca). It is NOT used as a sweetener at all. We use a very small, trace amount (about 1/4th of 1 gram per stick) for the sole purpose of activating the fermentation process. By the end of the ferment there is little to no dextrose remaining in the stick as it has been consumed by the beneficial probiotic bacteria. Third party lab analysis has confirmed there are 0 grams of sugar in our sticks.^*

*With the exception of the Teriyaki beef stick, which contains 2 grams of sugar from Organic Honey and the Maple Bacon pork stick, which contains 1 gram of natural sugar from organic maple syrup
