Freeze-dried food

Freeze-dried food for hiking, camping and outdoor trips

When food needs to be carried over longer distances, weight, serving size and simple preparation become important. Freeze-dried meals are therefore well suited to hiking, camping, hunting and longer outdoor trips.

Many meals are prepared by adding hot water directly to the pouch and allowing the food to stand. The amount of water and preparation time varies between products, so always follow the instructions on the packaging.

Why freeze-dried food works well outdoors

One of the main advantages is the combination of low weight and easy preparation. If the meal can be prepared directly in the pouch, you may not need additional cookware for the meal itself.

Choose meals according to activity and energy needs

How much food you need depends on the length and intensity of your trip. Compare serving size and energy content and plan for snacks and drinks during the day as well.

Remember the water

Freeze-dried food is lightweight because much of the water has been removed. This also means you need access to water when preparing the meal.

Plan both drinking water and the amount needed for your meals, especially on trips where water sources may be limited.

Ingredients and allergens

Ingredients, nutritional values and allergens vary between products. Always check the product information and packaging before choosing a meal.
