Looking for tasty, low sodium beef jerky

No such thing as low sodium (Na) jerky--sadly. Im on a low Na diet and have made my own. Low Na jerky doesnt exist. But that doesnt mean that im not hopeful!
but there is... i know there is. Most jerky is salted to preserve it, but it can also be smoked. Just nobody seems to do it
Why are people too lazy to use google? If you don't trust the answers people are giving you, freaking research it yourself!
The process of making jerky is to cure (sp) the meat. That entails covering it in salt. There is no other way. If they don't cure it, then it will just rot instead of dry out.

Since when did Google have taste recommendations? I tried googletaste.com and nothing appeared. So, where is it? Sure Google may or may not find links to low sodium jerky. But Google won't link to low sodium jerky that is definately GOOD tasting.
I could take my leather shoe, and write a website about how it is low sodium dried animal product (jerky). Google will find my site. But would you eat my shoe, I mean, my jerky?
We ask humans for a reason. We want human answers to human questions that computers (so far) cannot answer. Until an accurate digital tongue is available, I will trust my food recommendations to other people and not just take the first Google link.
hahaha... let's not start THAT thread again!
I was just looking for a bit of it, but bulk would be fine too
Thank you, sir! Exactly my point. Google pointed me to a few low sodium jerkys (which do exist - they're smoked instead of salt cured), but i'm not going to trust the companies that make it to tell me if it's good
techincally meat should be bacteria etc.. resistent with a water content below 6% or so, salt, sulfides etc. will help also but i dont think they would technically be needed.
best thing is to make your own in the oven, i think you set the oven to 165 on top of racks or something and heat/dry it for many hours.

Wow. Anyone with a REASONABLE amount of intelligence would be able to Google the name, THEN search for comments/reviews/suggestions about said product! It's really not rocket science. There's a reason why it's called "Research" and not the immaculate information conception.
So you go ahead and chew on your shoe. Let us know when you figure out this whole interweb thing out.
He shouldn't ask for answers and then say he doesn't trust the people.
what you want is dried beef, not jerky
the thing that makes jerky, jerky is the solution you soak it in before drying it
so if you dry some beef, without first soaking it in that very salty solution, then you have dried beef, not jerky
so go get some dried beef, i think you can get it in bulk, online somewhere , just google for "bulk beef"

Anyone with a reasonable amount of intelligence would realize that doing a search for "low sodium beef jerky" results in 102,000 links. After going through 102,000 links, finding many thousands of products, googling each of those products, reading reviews (if any are found), etc would take an eternity. Of course, no one would do this. But even trying to find say a half dozen trustworthy reviews of the products in question could take many hours. Comparably, you can take 5 minutes to compose an ATOT post and possibly have your answer with no further effort.
We have a community here. I trust certain members and what they have to say. I've eaten receipes from people posted here and I know that my food tastes are similar to some of those posters. So of course I'm going to value their opinion far higher than some random Google person saying that they like the taste of brand XYZ jerky. Especially since the person saying that probably also profits from the sale of brand XYZ jerky.
If you don't like people asking questions on ATOT, you can close your browser and enter the real world.
Ok, maybe you missed what I said. My statement was in regards to him saying " I don't trust any of your opinions, I'm going to bump this".
You're right, we are a community, but don't trash on the individuals that you are seeking research from. Go do it yourself if you don't like the responses. I have no problem with people asking questions. But if you're going to knock it, I'm going to tell you to go Google it for yourself.
It's also called a suggestion. No different than anyone else gave. So your rhetoric is falling on deaf ears. I feel it doesn't apply in this situation.

I saw that what you said and decided that I couldn't make any witty/useful responses to it. So, I originally chose not to respond.
Basically, Morkus64 asked an improperly worded question, got the wrong answers, and was frustrated. I don't think his statement was nearly as bad as you make it out to be. Especially since what you quoted isn't his words and in fact is much more harsh than his own words. He was trying to say that he believes that low sodium dried meat exists. He did not say "I don't trust any of your opinions, I'm going to bump this."
The best post here has been from FoBoT, instructing morkus64 WHY the first few posters posted that way. What Morkus64 asked for doesn't exist, thus the frustration he had with the first posters who mocked him.
The type of posts that say imply "go use Google instead of asking us" just need to stop. I'm tired of using Google, finding nothing but a wild goose chase, coming to ATOT, and being told to use Google.
Sorry, I didn't go back to properly quote him, it was just off the top of my head.

I agree. But that wasn't why I posted why I posted.
Perhaps I worded things badly - but I can google low sodium beef jerky and get plaenty of hits, find places to buy it online, even. Hence I didn't believe the posters who say such a thing does not exist, Now, the dried beef info IS useful... If someone had explained that it is known by a different name rather than just ragging on me, it would have been ever so much more helpful. (and thank you, FoBoT!)
So how does dried beef compare to jerky? Taste? Texture?
