The Backpacking Kit - 18Ct Premium Lightweight Meals in 1 Cup Resealable Pouches by Harmony House Foods, Single Set

Designed for camping, but a really good storecupboard item. There is a very good range of products which will have retained their nutritional value better than some other methods of preservation, some recipes for easy meals for people to see how useful dried vegetables can be, and enough to experiment and supplement a range of foods such as soups and casseroles. Very useful for holidays, being snowed in, having difficulty getting to the shops or access to fresh veg for whatever reason. Well worth having in the house as well as the rucksack.

Really useful variety of vegetables, handily packed in individual resealable packets. We used these for every dinner for 8 days for 2 people and have barely used a quarter, they really do go a long way.We took them on a kayaking trip and they packed small, giving a huge variety of different meal options. For example we used them to cook pasta with vegetables, a jambalaya (rice, spices, onions, peppers, tomatoes and some salami), a green risotto with dried parmesan cheese (risotto rice, stock cube, parmesan, peas, green beans, onions, celery), mexican rice with beans, and a biryani (rice, spices, a whole mix of different vegetables). Using just one pot for the carbs and vegetables worked really well for us and meant minimal washing up which is always a bonus when camping!Impressively the vegetables all looked and tasted remarkably normal once cooked, you would struggle to tell the difference between these and normal vegetables.My only critique would perhaps be the balance of vegetables - you get double of a small number of the packets and perhaps if I could select myself I would have gone for just 1x potatoes and 2x onions but this is just personal preference.I think I would struggle to do camping food without these again - having experienced how lightweight, versatile and high quality these vegetables are I will be buying them again in future.

Very happy with the product but it's a little pricey.

I am genuinely impressed with this product. No messing about, it is exactly what it says - a bunch of dried veg. When you cook them, they smell and taste GREAT. Light and easy to carry, I got them for camping but have mostly been experimenting at home so far. You can add maybe half a stock cube or some meat jerky or maybe a little spice to the recipies, but you hardly need to - the veg is so full of flavour. The 'serving' size is enough for a light lunch, but I would double up or add some bread/rice to get a good dinner out of it, especially after a day hiking. Even so, these represent exceptional value for money and are really light to carry - proper nutrition on the go. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I bought this with camping in mind but Lordy!! I use it even at home. So simple and tasty. I have lost 6 kilos in 2 months eating twice a day. Nutritionally seems OK. Ticks all the boxes. At the moment unavailable on Amazon UK. After contacting Harmony foods in the US they say a shipment is already on it's way to UK. I would recommend this product to everyone. I don't work for them nor do I have shares in their company. :) I am hard to please and this pleases me. Must mean something eh?? I look forward to it becoming available on Amazon UK again soon.

So pleased with this collection of dehydrated foods. They are just what I was looking for lightweight for my backpack and long lasting. I’ve cooked up the recipes from the enclosed sheet and mixed up my own all tasted great. I’ve camped at some remote areas with just my water and gas stove with these foods. I would highly recommend them as an alternative to wet pouch style camping foods.

Brilliant. Always in my rucksac and helps make a great meal at the end of the day. Light and takes up little space. Will buy again.

Great for camping, in doors outdoors , prepper etc great way to store food will be buying again
