I found you because you were profiled today as someone's #nameinlights challenge.

Really glad I found you. Awesome work!
Can you tell me what's in beef jerky sometime? They say "vegetable protein" but what the hell is that and why is it in my bag of what should be cow and salt?
Hi William,
Thanks for the note. What is nameinlights all about?
As for vegetable protein, that would probably be soy or wheat protein added as an extender (make things cheaper) or texture modifier in lots of processed meats. You can find that in hot dogs and the like too usually.
If it is just a dried beef piece rather than a salami style one, I'm not sure what vegetable protein is doing in there but it could be part of the seasoning.
