Primal Spirit Vegan Jerky – “Classic Flavor” – Hickory Smoked, 10 g. Plant Based Protein, Certified Non-GMO, No Preservatives, Sports Friendly Packaging (12 Pack, 1 oz)

Before I went vegan, beef jerky was one of my absolute favorite snacks. It was just expensive as hell. Personally, I'm not a big fan of any "flavors" outside of like wood smoke or maybe cracked black pepper. That still holds true for Primal brand too, for me. To each their own. That being said, THIS IS THE ONLY GOOD VEGAN JERKY. I'm not kidding. I've tried every single other one. Like all of them. Beyond Jerky was the only one, I think, that can hold it's own against Primal. Everything else is either too soft, too dry, tastes weird, or is just nothing like beef jerky at all. This is tougher than real beef jerky, but not by much. And I prefer tougher than chewing on what feels like dried glue. Primal's the best. It just is. I will die on this hill.

If you are looking for something to replace that beef jerky fix only one flavor can do such a thing and that is the Hickory Smoke. I did a taste test between all of them with my mom and wife to get their input and this is what we came up with Thai Peanut: Very weird taste to it, nothing like a thai peanut flavor. Not salty at all but the taste is so bad you wont finish chewing Hot & Spicy: Looks weird, extremely soft but no taste to it as well. Didn't taste spicy, no flavor to it. The best way I can describe it is like an off brand mild slim jim Mesquite Lime: It was meh, extremely tough with a limish (if thats even a word) after taste. Even chewing provided no flavor sensation and this left me disappointed due to the amount of people liking that flavor Texas BBQ: Very disappointed, this one had so much potential yet fell so short. That first bite provides you with a small amount of flavor, not to chewy but after that first bite literally no flavor, just chewing soy. Hickory Smoked: We all loved this flavor, the flavor was on point with every single bite! Not to chewy, not to soft, just right. It makes me sad all the other flavors don't pack a punch like this one

Excellent Taste and Nutritious

Definitely takes getting used to it's kinda tuff to bite I have Sensitive teeth ..its pretty sweet and its sticky..I dnt see myself reordering

I got the variety pack—did not like the teriyaki or mesquite lime 😬 I enjoy the texture though. I haven’t ventured to try the others besides the hickory smoked. The hickory smoked was surprisingly delicious. I thought I’d like the teriyaki because I usually love teriyaki, but it was not great in my opinion. When I tried the hickory smoked, it actually tasted like how I expected the teriyaki to taste. So I really liked the hickory smoked and I came back to order just that flavor!

All the flavors are good but my favorites is the hickory. Great texture and taste. Perfect travel snacks.....My only critique is on the packaging. It doesn't teat open as well as it presents.

I’ve been enjoying primal jerky from our local coop for 25 years. This jerky must have been improperly stored bc too tough to eat.

Good jerky

These are my go to when I want a vegan jerky for texture and flavour. Excellent!
