History of the Pemmican

Pemmican was a primal snack of the Native Americans. Its extraordinary nutritiousness kept the indigenous people healthy and its near infinite shelf life gave them peace of mind: they could go on long hunts and journeys without ever having to worry about their supply of healthy food.

When the European settlers arrived, they were amazed by the beauty and strength of the Native Americans. The settlers discovered that it was the Native American food which was the underlying source of their Oneness and the Pemmican was the first thing the settlers copied from the native Americans. Later on, there was even a war fought over the Pemmican.

Since then, the Pemmican proved itself over and over again as being the ultimate snack of choice: Whether by pioneers like Frederick Russell Burnham or by adventures like Woniya Thibeault; they relied on Pemmican whenever it counts.

Have you ever looked at the ingredients of the snacks or meal replacements you eat? Whether it is sugar, artificial fragrances and colors, preservatives, or anti-nutrients, there is always something that does not match the philosophy of Paleo. That’s what Paleo Suisse was founded for.

After having researched the beef jerky market, we found out about the Pemmican, an essential food of native Americans. Beef jerky alone does not provide a lot of energy, so native Americans combined the dried and powdered meat with some fat and created the Pemmican.

Therefore, why create another beef jerky when there are already so many available? Even though most of them add ingredients we disapprove of, we were even more excited about bringing the Pemmican, a Native American treasure back to modern life. After months and months of experimenting with original recipes, we came up with the Pemmican Helvetica: A Pemmican which caters to the adventurer as well as to the everyday man who lives the Paleo way.

Its Ingredients

  • Beef.

    Beef contains a lot of protein in the most biocompatible form. Beef tallow is essential for the absorption of vitamins and it serves as the building block for every cell in the human body. Beef and tallow contain 11 essential vitamins and 13 essential minerals; many of which cannot be found elsewhere or only with poor biocompatibility.

  • Cacao nibs.

    Cacao nibs are a paleo superfood: They have anti-inflammatory as well as antioxidant effects. Additionally, they improve your cognitive functions and add the extra crunch to your Pemmican.

  • Honey.

    A drop of honey does not only round up the flavor of your Pemmican: Honey contains more than 200 different polyphenols which act antimicrobial, prolong the shelf-life and act anti-inflammatory and disease-preventative to your body.

Free yourself from unhealthy additives and from hunger.
