What is the best protein bar? | How to make Pemmican | 3 ingredients and zero carb meal bars

Editorial Summary

The creators demonstrate how to prepare pemmican, an ancient, shelf-stable food used for centuries to preserve meat. They explain that while commercial carnivore bars are effective for travel, they can be expensive, making a homemade version a practical alternative. The process requires three primary ingredients: very lean meat, salt, and rendered fat. The creators use extra lean ground beef for their demonstration, noting that the fat content in the meat determines the final shelf life. They detail the importance of dehydrating the meat until it is brittle and weighing the dried product to ensure the correct ratio of rendered fat is added. For flavor, they incorporate dried blueberries, which adds a small amount of carbohydrates to the recipe. The video concludes with the finished bars, which the creators describe as having a distinct mouthfeel. They note that the nutritional content varies based on additives, but the base recipe remains a zero-carb, high-protein option.
