Additional Information for Pemmican
Pemmican is a type of food that falls under the supply class Meat, Poultry, and Fish in the supply group Subsistence. It is a traditional food made by indigenous peoples of North America, particularly the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit.
Pemmican is typically made by drying lean meat, such as beef, bison, or venison, and then grinding it into a powder. This powder is mixed with melted fat, usually from the same animal, and sometimes combined with dried fruits or berries for added flavor and nutrition. The mixture is then pressed into small, dense cakes or bars.
Pemmican has been used as a high-energy food source for centuries, as it is lightweight, compact, and has a long shelf life. It was traditionally used by hunters, trappers, and explorers as a convenient and nutritious food to sustain them during long journeys or periods of scarcity.
Today, pemmican is still enjoyed by some people as a snack or survival food. It is rich in protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients, making it a valuable source of sustenance in challenging environments or situations.
