Thoughts on dehydrated food

[tkav1980]

I dehydrated food for long camping and hunting trips. It cuts down on weight a ton when bushwhacking through rough terraine with a pack on your back. I thought about it and since I work on the road a ton, I started thinking why not do this more for my meal prep. I can have a hot meal anywhere with some water and a jetboil stove.

Any idea how this effects nutrients?

I don't see a problem with dehydrated foods. Not sure about meats but fruits/veggies keep the majority of their nutrient content. They Lose a little vitamin c though.

You’re not losing any nutrients if you’re dehydrating afaik, as long as you’re using lower temps to dehydrate anyway. I think it could be a pretty good idea, as long as you like dehydrated foods of course. They’re not going to be as tasty as something like mountain house pro-paks, but then again they’re going to have as much sodium either. I have a bunch of dehydrators, and I make large batches of jerky pretty often, I almost always have a bag of jerky with me wherever I go. Dehydrated fruit is pretty great too, Good stuff!!!

Evan's been working on this for awhile now. It's essentially a dehydrated "meal". I'm curious what it taste like?

Me too. Ingredients are solid. It's interesting for sure. Much better than some "gainer" protien that's just maltodextrin and cheap whey concentrate.

I suspect this product could give gas.

there are different variations of Beef, Turkey , Chicken jerky that are nice and versatile to carry around.
Not sure if thats the type of thing you mean.

Someone else mentioned low temps... this is true. I have an excaliber dehydrator. Dries it under 105, 110 degrees. This keeps nutrients intact, and as vital as raw food. I was 100% raw, vegan for 5 years, even teach food classes... keeping it low temp, keeps it raw, just dried

I actually plan on buying this supplement when it comes out. Just to keep in the office for when I get busy. Solid profile.
