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.

Flameless heater bags (Does NOT fit our 2343 Flameless Ration Heater Bags)
  • Add water to a freeze dried meal pouch to reconstitute it, close pouch and then put it into the foil cooking pouch.
  • Add water to the inner heat pads to initiate the reaction.
  • Follow instructions on Flameless Heater Bag.

Coq au vin was very tasty and the mash was as good as freshy made.

by Pamela

Ive ordered a few of these meals to try out. Ive just had the Coq au vin, it had a separate bag for the mash potatoes which was delicious and probably equal to freshly made mash and the chicken veggie sauce portion. <br><br>Very easy to follow instructions and would mean camp dinners are more up market. It served 2 medium sized portions and in the chicken sauce you can taste the mushrooms and green veggies. I look forward to trying the other varieties I have ordered. <br><br>I went for this brand specifically as it has gluten free options.
