Dried meat refers to meat products with a water content of less than ten percent. The water is evenly removed from the entire product by air drying so that as many of the nutrients as possible are retained. Dried meat is contrasted with air-cured meats such as some types of ham, which are only dried on the surface and ultimately still have a water content of around 60 to 70 percent.
The even drying process preserves the dried meat and makes it last longer. It is often used as a treat or small addition to BARF dog food or BARF cat food, as it has a particularly intense taste due to its higher density and is easy to transport.
