The Freeze Drying Process

• During the freeze drying process, crystals of frozen ice in the food are sublimed (evaporated) to water vapour in a vacuum chamber.
• The result is a completely dry product that does not shrink during the drying process.
• When prepared for eating, the water is quickly absorbed by the pores left by the ice crystals to give a juicy, tender food product.
• After packing, the food is heat-sealed in foil pouches from which all the air has been removed and replaced with nitrogen gas, keeping the food safe and flavoursome for at least three years.
• Back Country Cuisine meals are formulated to meet the high energy needs of outdoor activity and our products have a careful mix of the essential components needed for a healthy diet.
• This includes balanced carbohydrates and sugars for instant energy, protein to replenish exhausted muscles and oils and fats to keep you feeling full.

Benefits

• Freeze drying removes the moisture from food making it much lighter and easier to carry.
• Freeze drying retains the natural vitamins in the food because of the low temperatures used in processing
• Along with naturally occurring minerals and the addition of salt, the freeze dried meals provide vitamins and minerals necessary to meet the high energy needs of outdoor activity
• Flushed with nitrogen gas when packed, freeze dried products have a long shelf life, meaning you can have meals on hand at any time
• Food does not shrink during the freeze drying process, or inside the pouch

How to prepare the freeze dried meals

• Simply add the required amount of hot or cold water stated on the back of each meal pouch, stir and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
