Good value for money since it's organic. Too salty int eh flavor profile. Texture is a summer-sausage type consistency, not a snappy beef stick. But having tasted and looked for a best option for clean beef sticks, I think this one has fared the best. Second choice is Walmart's better goods brand (better snap and desiccation, pretty clean, and good price), but after eating this, I'll stick wth this for aa while. I have the least autoimmune reactions from this. Chomps is utter trash and Paleo Valley is even worse - like eating a cheap wienie and paying through the nose for the privilege, blagh. I hope MM will consider reducing the salt and simply aging this for longer. If they removed some of the moisture they wouldn't need as much salt as a preservative. They're just doing it on the cheap, it seems, since putting more salt in is cheaper than leaving it in the dehydrator for longer.
