Apart from being light, tasty and super-fast to prepare, the meals are made from freeze dried vegetables and meats with delicious sauce mixes that retain their natural flavours.
The result is tasty freeze dried meals that can be prepared inside the pack in 10 minutes with just a bit of boiling water.
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.

How long do these meals last?
Back Country Cuisine gives a 4 year best before on all items but is safe to eat beyond that, provided it’s stored appropriately and the packaging remains sealed. The manufacturer states:
“We know from our advanced shelf life testing that our meals are safe to eat well beyond four years as long as the bag hasn’t been opened or damaged.”
