You Asked, We Delivered: A Bisonberry Bar to Satisfy Savory Taste Buds.
We know some of you prefer savory over sweet flavors, so we’re excited to introduce the newest member of our Bisonberry Blends line — the Sumac & Maple bar! While sumac is prized as a spice, it’s actually a berry that’s been dried and crushed to create a bold, unique flavor profile. We’re hopeful it’ll satisfy the savory flavor you’ve been craving.
This bar is an easy way to sneak some fruit into your diet, whether you’re trying to get your kids to eat healthier or simply want a tasty, nutritious snack. And with its impressive list of health benefits, it’s hard not to love what sumac brings to the table!
The Power of Sumac
Sumac is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory spices available, loaded with antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals — harmful compounds linked to cancer, heart disease, and signs of aging. Early studies suggest sumac may also assist with blood sugar control and provide relief from exercise-induced muscle pain.
It contains:
- Fiber for digestive health.
- Heart-healthy fats that support cardiovascular well-being.
- Vitamins C, A, and B to boost overall health.
- Powerful antioxidants that fight inflammation and protect the body.
A Rich History
Indigenous peoples of North America have long recognized the medicinal benefits of sumac. The leaves of the sumac plant were smoked to help with asthma, while the blossoms were used by the Chippewa as a natural mouthwash for teething children. Sumac’s versatility also extends to making root and leaf teas, which were historically used to treat intestinal ailments and mouth or throat ulcers. Additionally, the berries were mixed with tobacco for spiritual purposes, a practice still common today.
All Natural Ingredients
The Sumac & Maple bar blends bison, 100% grass-fed beef, maple sap water, and ground sumac berries for a subtle, flavorful profile that lets the natural meat flavors shine. With less sugar than our other Bisonberry Blend bars, it’s a deliciously wholesome way to fuel your body and support your health, wherever life takes you.
*DON’T confuse sumac (red berries) with poison sumac (white berries)!
Sumac is generally safe for most people; however, it may occasionally trigger reactions or food intolerances. Since sumac belongs to the same plant family as cashews, pistachios and mangoes, individuals with allergies to these foods should exercise caution and consider avoiding sumac to reduce the risk of potential allergic responses.
