Freeze-dried food - if you're into carrying light, this is for you. These are properly sized portions and pretty tasty too!
Freeze dried food is good when potable water is available so that you don't have to carry it, like when trekking in Finland. Blå Band stuff has the usual modern features - it doesn't require cooking after adding water, and you can eat it straight out of the bag.
The food has a shelf life usually of two years. These won't turn bad after that, though.
Despite the Swedish name, the food itself is actually made in Germany.
Instructions
- Tear off the top of the pouch where marked and fold out the bottom.
- Add boiling water up to the indicated level and stir. You can also use cold water.
- Reseal and wait for about 10 min, or 30 min if you used cold water.
- Add more water if necessary.
