Product ReviewsHoney & Cherry-Free Beef Pemmican Pail

Tastes fine, not shelf stable

I guess I found the title misleading. Every recipe, article or how-to video details the importance of drying the beef used to make pemmican so that it's shelf stable and won't go rancid. The pemmican sold here uses beef which isn't fully dried. According to their blog post on pemmican it's because mincing the fully dried beef would be too hard on their equipment, but they spend 3/4 of the blog detailing how traditional pemmican was used as a long-term survival ration used by pioneers only to reveal at the end that isn't theirs and theirs must remain frozen and will only keep at room temperature 7 to 10 days.

So I'm giving this three stars because it tastes fine and it's nutritious, but the beef isn't fully dried which is the biggest reason why anyone would buy this.

Confused..

I really thought this would be a good choice for our family after falling in LOVE with the sticks but I can't seem to get the product to "scoop like ice cream".. do I need to let it thaw for a while prior? I've had it for a while and really want to make it work!! Thank you! :)

Wonderful/Healthy, Taste excellant and Convenient

I am a Nutritionist. I have always cooked my own food. I rarely ever dine out(maybe 2x a year). We also raise our own meat chickens and we hunt. I always have a ice cooler in my Vehicle when I travel this is to have food in my car with me at all times,so when I do get hungry I choose to eat healthy :) There have been so many times I have not wanted to cook for the next few days and with Pemmican that is possible !! it is simple and easy! I just scoop out and eat with a salad! Yippi Yahoo,what a time saver!!! How convenient and a healthy choice. It tastes wonderful if you are already use to consuming healthy nutritious food. With that being said I think many people think they are eating healthy but in reality still do not know how real nutritious food tastes. So when I saw reviews good & bad I needed to try Pemican for myself. Consistency of Pemmican is close to a hard nut butter. Pemmican has a wonderful flavor and is easy to scoop out of canister. I feel there is not much of a taste difference between the plain or cherry Pemmican they both taste very similar. I give Pemmican an A++++ and will order again!! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication in making healthy nutritious meat products for consumers.

Amazing taste

You simply cannot judge the food by its appearance. Once you scoop out a spoonful, it's like ice cream or your favorite nut butter... a very satisfying, hyper palatable, high-fat food. I cannot advocate enough for the flavor or even begin to describe it. It's simply the Platonic ideal of beef, ideal for ketogenic paleo.

Delicious right out of the pail

This is my staple for breakfast every morning (eating some now)! My only complaint is that it is often out-of-stock when I'm ready to order, and I wait (impatiently) by my email for the "Back in Stock" notice!

Love this stuff!

Our family absolutely loves this stuff. We use to buy it in sticks but have started getting the tub because it's much more cost effective. This is such a satisfying snack or quick addition to lunches. Thank you!!
