Word origin
The word 'jerky' originated from the Quechua language spoken by the native people of the Andes region in South America. The Quechua word 'ch'arki' referred to dried and salted meat, which was a common method of preserving meat in the Inca Empire. When Spanish conquistadors encountered this preserved meat, they adopted the term 'ch'arki' into 'jerky' in English.
