FREEZE-DRIED MEALS: WHAT ARE THEY?
When it comes to choosing the perfect food for your outdoor adventures or hiking trips, the options are endless. There are many meals on the market, ranging in price and using different manufacturing processes, so it can be difficult to choose the one(s) that best suit your needs. In this article, we'll focus on one type of food in particular: freeze-dried meals.
NUTRITIONAL VALUE
Freeze-dried meals offer several significant advantages. First, they retain a high nutritional value (approximately 97%). Their main advantage is their lightness and ease of transport. Due to the freeze-drying process, which removes most of the water content of food, freeze-dried meals are incredibly lightweight, making them an ideal choice for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, or expeditions. Tactical Foodpack rations are lightweight and offer excellent flavor.
Another advantage of freeze-dried meals is their long shelf life. Thanks to their low water content, these foods can be stored for long periods of time without spoiling, making them a practical solution for emergencies, extended trips, or long-term supplies.
PREPARATION AND REHYDRATION
Freeze-dried meals are very easy to prepare. Most of them simply require the addition of hot or cold water to rehydrate and be ready to eat. This ease of use makes them a convenient option for people who don't have a stove or the time to prepare a full meal. These meals can be rehydrated in 5 minutes or less using hot or cold water.
They are also known for retaining most of their original nutrients and flavors. Thanks to the freeze-drying method that preserves the nutritional properties of food, freeze-dried meals can provide a balanced intake of essential nutrients.
They offer a wide variety of choices, covering different types of cuisines and catering to specific dietary needs, such as vegetarian, gluten-free or high-protein diets.
To summarize, the advantages of freeze-dried meals are as follows:
- lightness
- long shelf life
- their ease of preparation
- nutritional intake
- variety
Making it a practical and versatile option for outdoor activities, emergencies and travel.
