## Description

Carne seca, a traditional Brazilian product with origins dating back to colonial times, is beef that has been salted and dried to preserve it for extended periods without refrigeration. This process involves cutting the beef into large pieces and covering it generously with salt. The meat is then left to rest for a period ranging from several days to several weeks, depending on the size of the piece and the humidity of the environment. Once the resting period is complete, the excess salt is removed, and the meat is left to dry in the sun or well-ventilated areas. This process can take days or even weeks until the meat is fully dried and ready to consume. Carne seca is a staple ingredient in many Brazilian dishes, especially in the Northeast and Midwest regions. It's used to make popular dishes such as feijoada, escondidinho, and arroz de carreteiro. Beyond its cultural significance, carne seca is an excellent source of protein and offers a distinct salty flavor that pleases many palates. A carne seca é um produto tradicional do Brasil que remonta aos tempos coloniais. Ela é feita a partir da carne bovina, que passa por um processo de salga e secagem para preservá-la por longos períodos de tempo, sem a necessidade de refrigeração. Durante o processo de fabricação, a carne é cortada em pedaços grandes e espalhada sobre uma camada generosa de sal. Em seguida, é deixada para descansar por um período que pode variar de alguns dias a algumas semanas, dependendo do tamanho do pedaço e da umidade do ambiente. Após esse período, a carne é lavada para retirar o excesso de sal e levada para secar ao sol ou em locais arejados. Esse processo pode levar dias ou semanas, até que a carne esteja completamente seca e pronta para o consumo. A carne seca é muito utilizada na culinária brasileira, especialmente nas regiões Nordeste e Centro-Oeste, onde é um ingrediente fundamental em diversos pratos típicos, como a feijoada, o escondidinho

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is gluten free?**
A: Hello, Danielle.

Although Carne Seca does not have gluten as ingredient, it is processed in a facility that shares the ventilation system with others, which does not guarantee that it is gluten-free.

**Q: I would like to know if this product is dry, and if this is similar to the product sold in Brazil, as I want to surprise some friends. Thanks !**
A: This product is dry, according to the regulations of United States Department of Agriculture, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and the Ministry of Agriculture of Brazil, as its water activity is below 0.82. 

Lead Foods is a manufacturer in Canada that sells in the United States Carne Seca with same authentic flavour as the product sold in Brazil, being considered a better product, as its moisture content is lower than the Brazilian product, and its shelf life unrefrigerated is longer (4 months in the Brazilian product, 18 months in the Canadian version). 

Lead Foods claims its Carne Seca to be DRY backed up by the regulations of 3 national food agencies, all based on science. Carne Seca Lead Foods is legally imported into the United States after passing USDA Meat Inspection, with all the labels approved. 

Thank you very much for your question, and we are sure that your friends will be surprised! Cheers!

**Q: How long can I store this for unopened?**
A: This product has a shelf life of 18 months.

**Q: Is this really carne seca (hard and dry and very salty) or carne de sol (semi-dry and perishable)? The 2nd ingr. is water, which doesn't make sense**
A: Hello! Very important question!
Carne Seca Lead Foods is considered dry in compliance with CFIA and USDA regulations, which makes our product non-refrigerated. Carne Seca is considered salty, as per declared sodium levels on the Nutritional Facts Table (back label), also available on our website leadfoods.com. In terms of consistency, it is harder than fresh beef, however hardness test has never been performed to our product. Carne Seca Lead Foods is also known as Charque or Jabá, and is  often used in Feijoada, Feijão Carioca, Escondidinho de Charque, Arrumadinho, Quiabada de Charque, and in many Brazilian recipes. Water declared on the ingredient list is water used in the manufacturing process. There might be fluid in the package, released from the meat by the vacuum pressure after the product was vacuum packaged. On the other hand, Carne de Sol is just fresh beef, overly salted, and needs to be refrigerated, as it is not considered dry.
