Jack Link's Peppered Beef Jerky

Very hard. Very dry, but not flaky dry. The meat is still well bonded. Smells great. Tastes awesome. The spice is almost zilch on the tongue, but hits the throat mildly. Well peppered pieces! The most interesting part is, they taste of a particular variety of raw mango. And I remember experiencing this taste with another brand of peppered Jerky as well. Maybe it's the particular black pepper they use that renders this added smell.
Great pack of Jerky, they could do a little better on the texture.
