Shawarma-Flavored Halal Jerky

Shawarma holds a prestigious place in Middle Eastern cuisine and culture. But where did this popular street food that inspired our gluten-free, sugar-free jerky originate?

Shawarma first emerged in the late 18th or 19th century within the Ottoman Empire, specifically in modern-day Turkey. It revolutionized meat preparation by utilizing thin cuts of minimally processed meat stacked and roasted vertically on a slow-turning rotisserie.

The Turkish word "çevirme" meaning "turning" gave rise to the Arabic name "shawarma," referring to the rotating spit used to cook the meat. This slow roasting allowed fat to drip away while the outer layer became infused with a smoky, spice-laden flavor.

Shawarma spread as a beloved late-night snack throughout the Middle East from Turkish street carts. The comforting smells draw hungry crowds in cities from Lebanon to Kuwait. Vendors swiftly slice succulent, seasoned meat straight off the constantly spinning rotisserie to fill warm flatbreads.

Shawarma remains a staple street food across the Middle East and South Asia, with regional variations. Its crave-worthy taste has also made shawarma popular worldwide.

Our sugar-free jerky distills the rich cultural essence of shawarma into snackable form, offering a taste of history anytime.

What is the Paleo Diet? 

The Paleo diet mimics the eating patterns of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. It focuses on unprocessed, whole foods like meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats. Anything farmed or produced later, like grains, legumes, dairy, refined sugar, and salt, is excluded. The goal is to return to a healthy eating method aligned with human evolutionary biology. 

What Does Paleo Mean? 

“Paleo” comes from the Paleolithic era, referring to the time period roughly 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago. The Paleo diet avoids modern foods and attempts to replicate what our ancestors ate in the Paleolithic times before agriculture and processing changed human diets. 

What is Paleo vs. Keto? 

While both diets emphasize meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, and healthy fats, Paleo excludes fruit and some starchy veggies. Keto focuses solely on low carb, high fat with moderate protein. Paleo is primarily concerned with eating quality, natural foods but does not restrict any macronutrients. 

What Does the Whole30 Diet Consist Of? 

Whole30 follows Paleo guidelines but is more restrictive, eliminating sugar, grains, legumes, dairy, certain oils, MSG and carrageenan. It aims to reset your habits and relationship with food in just 30 days. After that period, foods are slowly reintroduced to see their effects.
