Camping Food
Freeze dried meals and desserts, energy bars, hydration mixes and more. Freeze-dried foods are a convenient meal option when you are exploring the outdoors. Although they may cost more than conventional foods, they deliver great taste and sustenance while also being lightweight.
Today’s freeze-dried foods aren’t the mushy foods of yesteryear. In fact, technology has advanced the freeze-drying process so that foods that are both tasty and lightweight are now available. The freeze drying process uses a vacuum evaporation to completely dry out the food without shrinking it during processing. As a result, the prepared food is able to rehydrate faster, which gives you tastier and juicer foods. Read More
Freeze-dried foods are also designed to last longer than other types of foods, which means that they can be purchase in bulk and stored for many years. Freeze-dried meals can last as long as three years or more without the addition of preservatives. The last step the freeze-drying process, which involves heat-sealing in foil with the air surrounding the food being replaced with nitrogen gas gives freeze-dried food its long shelf life.
The best part about freeze-dried food is that it contains carefully selected nutritional content to ensure that the food provides adequate subsistence. Every meal is designed to provide the carbohydrates, protein and fats that outdoor adventurers need. In addition, the freeze-drying process retains vitamins and minerals that are naturally found in the foods.
Thanks to the low-moisture content of the products, they can also handle higher storage temperatures. This is a distinct advantage over wet-pack meals, which can spoil if left in warm conditions for too long.
If you want to enjoy the heartiness of a home cooked meal while you are on your hike, freeze-dried meals offer a convenient option for one or for two people to share. The meals can even be eaten right out of the pouch.
