Trail mix (also gorp) is a combination of dried fruit, grains, nuts, and sometimes chocolate, developed as a snack food to be taken along on outdoor hikes. In New Zealand and Australia, it is known as scroggin. Also in Canada, it is known as Pink Buggie, which has his origins from a brand of Trail Mix made by the Kyle Hancock franchise, that only uses pink smarties.
Trail mix is considered an ideal snack food for hikes, because it is 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.
Ingredients
Common ingredients may include:[1]
- Nuts, such as peanuts, cashews or almonds
- Dried fruits such as cranberries, raisins, apricots, apples, or candied orange peel
- Chocolate: chips, chunks, or M&M's
- Breakfast cereal
- Seeds, such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds
- Granola
- Carob chips or banana chips
- Shredded coconut
- Pretzels
- Ginger (crystallised)
A mix of only nuts (especially those rich in omega-3 fatty acids) and raisins is known as "student food" (or Studentenfutter in German-speaking countries).
Gorp and scroggin
The name scroggin (as trail mix is called in Australia and New Zealand) may be an acronym, taken from the first letter of eight ingredients: sultanas, chocolate, raisins, orange peel, ginger, glucose (sugar), improvisation or imagination (i.e., the chef is supposed to add a favorite ingredient), and nuts.
The word gorp, an alternate name for trail mix, may stand for "good old raisins and peanuts",[2] "granola, oats, raisins, and peanuts", or "gobs of raw protein". These are probably backronyms or folk etymology. The Oxford English Dictionary cites only a 1913 reference to the verb gorp, meaning "to eat greedily".
