Added to enzymatically break down the elastic fibers of the meat to make it tender. Perfect for juicy and impressive meat applications. Combine the tenderizing powder with a seasoning or marinade of your choice. Sprinkle on meat before cooking, then gently poking entire surface with fork, allowing the enzymes to break down meat.
