Our favorite
This is our favorite jerky spice mix and use it so much it was more convenient and much more affordable to order in a large quanity. My only complaint was that it was short product quantity. Amazon couldn't have been better in sending out another order to take out what was missing and return the rest. The second order was also short. 18 cure packages instead of 24. So order with confidence but make sure you count it.
Great for a Starter Set!
These flavors are very tasty, and every batch of Jerky I have made with theses flavors has received praise! The variety pack is a great starter set. I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because I would rather have a smaller cheaper set to start with until I find my favorite flavors. Or a set of the same size with more varieties (as there are more flavors that are not included with this set).
Celiac Alert/Wheat/Nitrates/Nitries/Food Safety
I hope some of you will find something here useful, heretical views and all ;^) !
The Nesco spices are typical of other pre-packaged jerky mixes. While I don't share the concerns others have about the presence of nitrates/nitrites, and I am not personally impacted by MSG (although I sympathize with those who have adverse reactions to it), I do want to give a heads up to any Celiac sufferers out there that the Teriyaki flavor contains wheat. This isn't really a big surprise as most Teriyaki sauce also contains wheat, but I thought it was worth pointing out.
For those who are concerned about the nitrates/nitrites, and who disagree with my view (and that of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Cancer Society and the National Research Council) that they are benign, and even beneficial, I would like to point out that they are there to protect you against food poisoning.
However, the spices and the cure are packaged separately, so it is possible...
