Bear Valley Pemmican Fruit 'n Nut ( 12x3.75 Oz)

British soldiers in the Boer War could march 36 hours before collapsing, after a meal of pemmican-- and it was found in the supplies of both the North Pole and South Pole explorations. Having read those accounts, I knew I had to find this product.This modern version is not of the the same ingredients as the earlier ones-- e.g., bear grease and cranberries-- (that may have been the Lewis & Clark recipe)-- but modern Pemmican retains the compact and nutritious product that it was in the beginning.I shopped around in the local stores but all I found were little candy-bar type snack foods, expensive and full of high fructose corn syrup.Thank you Amazon for providing this quality product at such a good price.I keep a few bars at work in my desk. Along with an apple, it makes a perfect meal, and so much healthier, faster, and less expensive than eating off the lunch truck.I've shared it with two people and they both liked it as well.

My title says it all. These bars are tasty, filling and satisfying. The consistency and taste reminds me of heavy fruit cake but these are a lot healthier. A super product.

Tasty

This had been part of a 'kit' I used to be able to find. Glad to find it after all these years.

Package came perfectly and the product was exactly what I asked for. All around good experience from shipping to the actual pemmican bars. Thank you.

If you are trying to lose weight, don't get these bars! They are calorie-dense. One bar has almost 400 calories. I have tried many other competitor's bars and this one actually tastes like food and not some chunk of chewy dough or play-doh. The bar is baked and preservative-free with generous chunks of fruit and nuts within. The taste and texture is wonderful and does not induce much thirst. My suggestion though is to get a variety of flavors so you don't get tired of them too quickly. If you hike/trek and need lots of calories in a compact form, I recommend these. I bought 3 boxes of mixed varieties and ate one a day for lunch in college and was never hungry. In fact, I could barely stay awake during lecture because of the caloric load. So they're best for those on the move. The closest bar in taste would be the Clif bars. However, they lack the chunkiness of nuts and fruit and have 100 fewer calories. Also, Clif bars kinda look like turds in foil...not too appetizing imo.

These bars are like a heavy fruitcake. I bought them thinking they were actual pemmican with nuts and fruit added, but they’re completely meatless.
