Power Foods of the Midwest & Great Lakes

Power Foods of the Midwest & Great Lakes

Size

Light, crisp puffed wild rice meets crunchy parched corn and pumpkin seeds, earthy black walnuts, maple sweetness, and warming ginger. Each handful brings different textures—from airy grains to firm nuts and seeds.

The “power” in this collection begins with nourishment. Across the Midwest and Great Lakes, Indigenous communities harvested, cultivated, and preserved foods that helped sustain daily life through changing seasons. Wild rice could be processed for long storage, while dried corn helped support winter food supplies. These traditions continue today.

Our mix brings these ingredients together in a modern snack inspired by the region’s food traditions.

This mix contains culinary ginger, which differs from the native wild ginger historically used by Indigenous peoples of the region.

A Brief History

The Midwest and Great Lakes encompass many Indigenous nations with distinct food traditions. For Ojibwe communities, manoomin—wild rice—is both a food and a continuing cultural and spiritual relationship. Harvesting and processing the grain made it possible to store food for the months ahead. Maple sugaring marked another important season, bringing families together in sugarbush camps.

This collection draws inspiration from those regional ingredients and practices; its puffed grains and combined recipe are a modern preparation.
