Great price!
I’m using this (don’t laugh) because of the Bromelain in the ingredients as suggested by my veterinarian because my dog decided recently that poop snacking is fun. I clean the yard daily but I can’t always get outside for the 5:30 am potty visits to the yard. This combined with dried parsley seems to be working. Although it may or may not be making her more thirsty. She always has access to a dish of water. Photo of the guilty snacker for attention.

This Adolfs is excellent at tenderizing meats. I usually put it on stew meat and let it sit for an hr. or so before using my pressure cooker.
I would mention this tenderizer seems to have disappeared from all my Big box grocery stores in my area. Don't know why.

5.0 out of 5 stars ...wow. Why didn't I buy this a decade ago?!
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2023
Size: 2.78 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
Given that the price of red meat continues to skyrocket with (seemingly) no end in sight, we've significantly downgraded buying spendier cuts of meat. Carne asada is a staple in our household, but for whatever the reason, the past few times I've purchased it my usual marinade no longer seems to tenderize it properly. Started researching meat tenderizers, but was really grossed out that so many seem to contain MSG.

This was one of the few that has no MSG, but several of the reviews complained it was "too salty" which concerned me a bit as I love to use seasonings, but most already contain a degree of salt. That said, we are not a household that buys into the old school thought process that salt is dangerous. (Not to send anyone down a rabbit hole, but low potassium is generally the culprit behind high blood pressure, and salt balances potassium so higher salt = low potassium. Supplement with a little potassium and you're back to being balanced)

All that said, you need VERY, very little of this on your meat to tenderize it. The granules are about the size of normal table salt, so it's incredibly easy to gauge how much is coming out. The most recent batch of carne asada I made was absolute perfection, with zero chew whatsoever. About 10 minutes seemed to do the trick, and I was able to add my normal seasoning.

The active ingredient, bromelain, is actually pretty healthy to boot. It's derived from pineapple, and is well known to decrease inflammation and can even boost your immune system in higher doses. It does contain sugar, but as someone who follows a clean, seed oil free keto diet - it seems to be an extremely trivial amount. It doesn't have a sweetness to taste whatsoever, not is there a single gram of sugar on the nutritional label. This bottle will probably last me years at this rate, and we eat red meat several times a week. Such a steal. I'm just mad I didn't buy it sooner!

This protein tenderizer works well without marinating. Can use while starting a slow cook. The enzymes in meat tenderizer are derived from citrus and other fruits. Home cooks may not need to ever buy another with proper storage.
