Trail mix is nothing but a combination of nuts, seeds and dried fruits meant as a snack. This on-the-go, energy boost could be sweet or savoury to taste.Trail Mixes first became popular in the early 1900s among hikers when Horace Kepharta, an American travel writer, suggested that hikers should carry these as a ‘trail snack’ in one of his books. The idea was to carry something that would travel well, wouldn’t get spoilt quickly and would be a good source of energy. When you think about it, this made a lot of practical sense. Not only would this be light to carry, it would have a long shelf life along with proving an energy boost that hiking would require. The concept has since caught on across the globe.
