Pemmican – The Ultimate Survival Food

Pemmican

Pemmican is one of those amazing “super” foods that is easy to make, lightweight, compact and very high in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.

If correctly made, it has a shelf life of a few years up to a lifetime and can be stored in almost any environment without going bad.

Invented by Native Americans and later used by trappers, cowboys and virtually anyone out in the wilderness of the old West, Pemmican in many cases was not only the only food available, but it was also a life-saver.

Pemmican is lean, dried beef that gets crushed into a powder and mixed with hot, rendered fat. Make Pemmican with any meat, but the favorites are beef, venison, and pork.

If you're talented enough, it'll come out tasty (well as tasty as pemmican can get, anyway)

    I’ve rendered tallow for historical reenactment purposes. A jar of the stuff lasted YEARS without going rancid. Added to dried meat & fruit should last just as well.

    My Grandmother used to fry meat, put it in a crock and pour hot rendered fat over it. It kept for months. I think you are wrong James.

    unfortunately Pemmican was bought out and “Jack Links” is now about the only jerky you can get and it tastes like keroscene.

    Your brain requires a certain amount of fat in your diet in order to function properly.
