National Archives Tumblrs Through Time: The Trail-tastic History of Trail Mix in the U.S. 🌲🥜🍫

Today, we're delving into a munch-worthy topic that's close to many of our hiking hearts—the evolution of trail mix in the United States.

🥜 The Roots of the Mix:

Trail mix, that iconic blend of nuts, dried fruit, and sometimes chocolate, dates back further than most realize. Indigenous peoples in North America consumed a mixture of pounded dried meat, rendered fat, and native fruits, known as pemmican, which can be thought of as an ancient precursor to modern trail mix.

🌄 Rise of the Raisins and Peanuts:

Fast forward to the 20th century, and trail mix as we know it began gaining traction. Particularly during long hikes or nature expeditions, individuals needed nonperishable, energy-packed foods. Mixes of nuts and dried fruits became a favored choice, providing quick energy and essential nutrients.

🍫 Sweet & Salty Evolution:

M&Ms, invented during WWII as a heat-resistant chocolate for soldiers, eventually found their way into trail mix. Their "melts in your mouth, not in your hand" feature made them a perfect, albeit sweet, addition. This began the era of the sweet & salty trail mix we adore today!

📈 Popularity Peaks:

By the 1960s and '70s, health food movements and hiking culture surged. Trail mix became not just a necessity but a beloved snack. Brands began packaging their own unique mixes, and the snack aisle was forever changed!

Thanks for nibbling through this delicious history with us. Remember, whether you’re ascending the peaks of history or actual mountains, always pack some trail mix for the journey.
