Bearded Butchers Natural Cure 3.5 oz, Celery and Cherry Juice Powder for 25 lbs Meat, Make Snack Sticks, Jerky, Bacon, & More

The Bearded Butchers Natural Cure is a clean-label solution for naturally curing meats without synthetic additives such as sodium nitrite or sodium erythorbate. This blend combines cultured celery juice powder and cherry powder to help produce the traditional cured color and flavor meat enthusiasts love. Celery juice powder contains naturally occurring compounds that, during processing, work similarly to traditional curing agents but come from a natural source. Cherry powder provides a natural source of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which supports the curing reaction, helping bring out a rich color and flavor in the finished product. Sea salt works in harmony with the celery and cherry powder to complete the natural curing system. Perfect for jerky, sausage, bacon, ham, and other cured meats, this cure is a great option for home butchers, hunters, and DIY meat processors seeking a naturally sourced alternative. Suggested usage for ground meat: evenly coat 25 lbs of meat trim with one 3.5 oz packet before grinding. For whole muscle meat (like jerky): evenly coat the surface of 25 lbs of meat before cooking. For immersion soak (like bacon): dissolve one 3.5 oz packet in 0.75 gal (96 fl. oz.) of water with 0.75 lbs (1.125 cups) sea salt, adding seasonings or sugar if desired; submerge meat fully and soak per recipe before smoking or cooking. Adjust usage as needed for your recipe. Ingredients: Celery Juice Powder (Celery Powder, Sea Salt), Cherry Powder, Sea Salt, Rice Hull (to prevent caking).
