Tanka Treats

An old Sioux food, wasna, has stampeded to the energy bar table. South Dakota company, Tanka Bar, launched its product in October and now has begun distributing it nationally to Walgreens and other retailers.

The bar is all natural bison meat and cranberry. Bison meat is high in protein and low in cholesterol. The cranberries add a sweet flavor and antioxidents.

The company's original focus was to market it as a healthy snack to the American Indian community, but interest from non-Indians was so great that the company attended the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California in March and gave away over 10,000 samples.

This sounds a lot better than maple syrup and bacon lollipops.
