Pemmican is one of the world’s oldest and most nutrient-dense foods – yet in Europe, it has almost completely been forgotten.

Why?

✅ Because it goes against mainstream nutrition.
✅ Because it’s not sweet, colorful, or ultra-processed.
✅ Because Pemmican is made for a very specific group of people – those who want real, high-quality food they can rely on 100%.

That’s exactly why Powerhouse Pemmican is currently the only producer in all of Europe making authentic Pemmican the traditional way – with no sugar, no additives, and no compromises.

We’re bringing back a time-tested natural superfood – for modern challenges and real demands: whether for outdoor adventures, emergency preparedness, or daily nutrition.

Authentic Pemmican – exclusively from Powerhouse Pemmican.

Pemmican is no ordinary snack – it’s real survival food with a story.

Originally created by the indigenous peoples of North America, especially the Plains Indians, it was developed over generations as a way to preserve and carry meat. The word “Pemmican” comes from the Cree language and roughly translates to “mixture of fat.”

This ingenious blend of dried beef, pure beef tallow, and a pinch of salt was used for centuries by hunters, warriors, and later by polar explorers in the 19th and 20th centuries – wherever maximum energy, long shelf life, and complete independence from fresh food were essential.

What’s inside?

Only three ingredients: premium dried beef, pure beef tallow, and a little salt. That’s all it takes – because this very combination delivers:

🔥 Extreme energy density
🥩 High-quality, bioavailable protein
🛡️ Shelf life of several years – with zero preservatives

Pemmican is the ultimate food for those who demand real performance – in daily life, on the go, or when it truly matters.

Traditionally, Pemmican consists of just three simple ingredients: dried, powdered meat, rendered animal fat, and a pinch of salt – sometimes enriched with berries or honey. It was once made from wild game such as bison or elk and served indigenous peoples, explorers, and soldiers as one of the most reliable sources of energy ever.

At Powerhouse Pemmican, we stay true to this principle – but with a clear commitment to quality:

Each bar is made exclusively from 150g of premium German beef, refined with pure beef tallow and a touch of salt. In our Golden Honey variety, we add a little raw honey – and nothing else.

The result:

🧬 A clean food – with no sugar, preservatives, or fillers
🥩 39g of high-quality protein per 100g
🔥 Ultra-high energy density with over 550 kcal per bar
🛡️ Long-term shelf life thanks to premium vacuum-sealing – no refrigeration required

Pemmican is not just minimalist – it’s also maximally functional: real food for real challenges.

Powerhouse Pemmican is a true powerhouse.

Designed for extreme situations, long journeys, and long-term storage – and packed with valuable energy, high-quality protein, and essential fats.

Nutritional values vary slightly depending on the variety – but in general, you can expect:

🔥 550–600 kcal per 100g
💪🏼 39g protein per 100g (bioavailable, from pure beef)
🧈 48g fat per 100g – rich in saturated & essential fatty acids
🍯 0–5g carbs – depending on the variety
🧬 Naturally rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K
❌ Absolutely no artificial additives or preservatives

👉🏼 Why so much fat?

Because fat isn’t the enemy – it’s the body’s most effective energy source. Especially in emergencies and on long expeditions when food is scarce, fat provides steady, long-lasting energy without the insulin spikes that make you crash.

👉🏼 Why so much protein?

Because protein is the single most important macronutrient. Our entire body – muscles, organs, enzymes, skin, hair, immune system – is built from proteins and amino acids. Without them, nothing works. Protein also keeps you full, supports muscle growth and maintenance, and prevents cravings. That’s why our Pemmican is loaded with high-quality, bioavailable protein from pure beef – in a form your body can absorb and use with maximum efficiency.

👉🏼 Why so few carbs?

Because we deliberately chose fat as the primary energy source. Fat provides more than twice the calories of carbs (sugar) – without the notorious post-meal crash. Compared to conventional protein or energy bars, our Pemmican is far more sustainable, healthier, and perfectly suited for a ketogenic or carnivore diet.

💡 You’ll find the exact nutrition tables for each variety directly in the shop.

Pemmican is famous for its long shelf life – and that’s exactly why it has been trusted as an emergency ration for centuries.

Our Powerhouse Pemmican takes it even further: thanks to gentle processing and premium vacuum-sealing, it remains shelf-stable for years.

For legal reasons, we are required to state a best-before date (BBD) on the packaging. However, this does not mean the product becomes inedible after that date. As long as the packaging is undamaged and the vacuum seal is intact, the product can still be consumed well beyond it.

To get the most out of it, please follow these tips:

✅ Store cool & dry
The ideal place is dark, dry, and not too warm – for example, in a pantry, storage room, or cellar. This way, quality stays at its best.

✅ Avoid oxygen & moisture
Our airtight vacuum packaging reliably protects the Pemmican – best left unopened until you actually need it.

✅ No refrigeration needed – but possible
Pemmican keeps perfectly well without cooling. For extreme long-term storage, you may also keep it in the fridge or freezer.

⚠️ Avoid direct sunlight
Light and heat can affect the fats inside – so avoid leaving it in a car or on a windowsill.
