Trail Mix Is Also Known As GORP – Granola, Oats, Raisins, and Peanuts Observed annually on August 31, National Trail Mix Day honors the mix that was developed as a healthy snack to be taken along on hikes. Trail mix is an ideal hike snack food because it is very lightweight, easy to store, nutritious and provides a quick energy boost from the carbohydrates in the dried fruits or granola as well as sustained energy from the fats in the nuts. One claim to the invention of trail mix is held by two California surfers, who in 1968 blended peanuts and raisins together for an energy snack. However, in the 1958 novel The Dharma Bums written by Jack Kerouac, trail mix is mentioned when the two main characters describe the planned meals in preparation for their hiking trip. Trail mix is also called GORP (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts or Granola, Oats, Raisins, and Peanuts) According to the Oxford English Dictionary , the verb gorp, means “to eat greedily”. In Australia and New Zealand they call trail mix Scroggin. In Germany, Poland, Hungary,the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and several other European countries, trail mix is called “student fodder“, “student oats”, or “student mix” in the local languages. Trail mix is a combination of dried fruit, grains, nuts, and sometimes chocolate, developed as a snack food to be taken along on outdoor hikes. Trail mix is considered an ideal snack food for hikes, because it is tasty, lightweight, easy to store, and nutritious, providing a quick boost from the carbohydrates in the dried fruit and/or granola, and sustained energy from the mono- and polyunsaturated fats in nuts. The recipe for trail mix is most likely European in origin, where it has been known as a snack under various names in various countries since the 17th century. Trail mix has been eaten by Native Americans for thousands of years, and originally included buﬀalo meat. The combination of nuts, raisins and chocolate as a trail snack dates at least to the 1910s, when outdoorsman Horace Kephart recommended it in his popular camping guide.

Feed Rations Lab Activity from Kelsey Lichtenwalner, Livestock Agent When Finished, Complete the Post Activity Evaluation Form 
Feed Rations Lab Activity from Kelsey Lichtenwalner, Livestock Agent When finished, complete the Post Activity Evaluation form Opening Question: ● What do you think livestock (horses, cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats) eat? Do you eat the same thing as them? Introduction Did you know livestock are the ultimate recyclers? Instead of taking by-products that we cannot eat or use – like cottonseed, soybean hulls, distillers’ grain, and even cookie crumbs - to the landfill, we can feed them to our livestock! However, farmers have to make sure they are feeding their livestock a balanced, healthy diet. Farmers combine different feedstuffs and by-products to make a feed ration that meets their livestock’s needs in four basic categories – Energy, Protein, Fat, and Minerals. All feedstuff and by-products for livestock fall in one or more of these categories! For example: ● Oats, Wheat, Barley, Corn, and Distillers Grain are high in – ENERGY ● Soybeans, Cottonseed, and Alfalfa Meal are high in – PROTEIN ● Cottonseed and Peanut Skins are high in - FAT Feedstuff that is high in energy is the biggest component of a healthy feed ration. Usually up 70-80%! Protein is the second biggest, making up 10-20% of the feed ration. Fat and minerals are the smallest part of a healthy feed ration – just like us! – at only 1-3%. Materials List ● Sealable Ziploc Sandwich Bags – 1 per child ● 1/3 measuring cup ● ¼ measuring cup ● 1 tablespoon ● Permanent marker (1 per group to write the surface name on each bag) ● Trail Mix Ingredients ● 1 or 2 Energy Options – Cheerios, Life Cereal, Pretzels, Popcorn or Goldfish ● 1 Protein Option – Almonds, Pistachios, Peanuts, or Pepitas ● 1 Fat Option – Raisins, M&M’s, or Chocolate Chips ● 1 Mineral Option – Old Bay Seasoning or Popcorn Seasoning (ex: White Cheddar) Instructions 1.

Making a Healthier Trail Mix Do You Need a Snack That Is Simple And
Making a Healthier Trail Mix Do you need a snack that is simple and healthy? Trail mix is a perfect snack to eat on the go or at home. It doesn’t require refrigeration and it is one that you can keep tucked away in your office or packed in a bag when you need a quick snack. Be careful though, some trail mix recipes may not be as healthy. When making a homemade trail mix you can be more in control. Here are some tips to make a healthier trail mix. Choose whole grains Whole grain cereals low in sugar or air-popped popcorn make great additions to a healthy trail mix. Whole grains are healthier than refined grains and they are packed with nutrients including zinc, magnesium, B vitamins and fiber. Look for products that include a whole grain stamp or whole grain ingredients such as brown rice, bulgur, oatmeal, quinoa, barley, or bulgur. Add dried fruit Dried fruits can help you reach your daily recommendation of fruits. A ½ cup of dried fruit can be considered as 1 cup from the Fruits group. Dried fruit is naturally sweet, so remember to avoid products with added sugar that add extra calories. Include protein Snacks high in protein may help provide satiety and appetite control. Include your favorite nuts and seed to add protein. My favorites are cashews, pecans, almonds and sunflower seeds. Buy them unsalted to help keep your sodium low. Add some sweet A lot of people like a sweet and salty trail mix. Including a dash of sweet can be a part of a healthy snack in moderation.

Food and Food Ingredients Definitions – Candy A
Rule 327.8 – Food and Food Ingredients Definitions – Candy A. “Food and food ingredients” is defined in Part II of the Library of Definitions., along with definitions of “candyCandy,” “dietary supplements,” “soft drinks,” “bottled water,” and “prepared food,” which are categories of products that a member state may choose to exclude from the definition of “food and food ingredients.” “Candy,” “dietary supplements,” “soft drinks,” and “bottled water” are intended to be mutually exclusive of each other. AB. “Candy” is defined in Part II of the Library of Definitions to mean a preparation of sugar, honey, or other natural or artificial sweeteners in combination with chocolate, fruits, nuts or other ingredients or flavorings in the form of bars, drops, or pieces. “Candy” shall not include any preparation containing flour and shall require no refrigeration. This definition is intended to be used when a person is trying to determine if a product that is commonly thought of as “candy” is in fact “candy.” For example, the definition would be applied in a situation where a person is trying to determine if a product is “candy” as opposed to a cookie. The definition is not intended to be applied to every type of food product sold. Many products, such as meat products, breakfast cereals, potato chips, and canned fruits and vegetables are not commonly thought of as “candy.” The candy definition is not applicable to products such as these since they are not commonly thought of as candy. C. A member state may exclude from its definition of “candy” a preparation that has as its predominant ingredient dried or partially dried fruit along with one or more sweeteners, and which may also contain other additives including but not limited to oils, natural flavorings, fiber, or preservatives.

Six Seed Trail Mix Adapted from Life Lab Grade Level: K Season
Six Seed Trail Mix Adapted from Life Lab Grade Level: K Season: Winter Larger IGS Unit: Seeds Essential Question: Where do seeds come from? Why are seeds important? What seeds do we eat? Objective: In this activity, children get to think about six different foods that are seeds or contain seeds. Students will understand the importance of eating seeds, which are rich in protein, and which help our bodies grow and repair. Students will also make the connection between the seeds that animals eat, and the seeds that humans eat. Materials (you can ask parents to send in contributions): Nut/seed pictures Mixed nuts in shells (peanuts, almonds, walnuts, etc) Walnuts Almonds Sunflower Seeds Peanuts (check for allergies) Pumpkin Seeds Chocolate Chips (optional) Spoons (one per seed type) Bowls (one per seed type) Hammer/Nutcracker Small baggies Sharpie Introduction: Review the types of food students have noticed animals eating in winter: bird feeder ingredients, chicken feed from Animals in Winter, etc. Explain that during the winter, it is important for people to eat some similar types of food because they have lots of protein, which helps keep us warm and healthy in the winter! Hand out different nuts in shells, one per student. Ask students to try and figure out what kinds of food each seed is. Demonstrate cracking open one seed (carefully use hammer for hard shells). Ask students where they think these nuts come from? Ask students what they think would happen if you planted one of those nuts? Explain the connection between nuts and seeds. Activity: Everyone should wash hands before doing this lesson.
