Hi
If i Want to cook 4 month in advance for a trip. CAN i keep the good in plastique bag at room temperature or it’s an obligation to freez? I am scared with condensation post frezzing the dehydrated food will produce bacterium
Hi Caroline! Better keep in freezer. In order to avoid condensation, vacuum-seal the bags
Hi… you have the best dehydrator recipes on the internet! Do you recommend adding bread crumbs to the turkey mince for better rehydration? I’m planning on using some of your recipes on my next trip including this one and the trail chili which uses beef mince. Thank you!
Thanks! Adding bread crumbs to the mince can help to rehydrate it faster/better. Due to some food restrictions I never put bread into mine dishes. However, it rehydrates fine also.
Do you think it will rehydrate on the trail okay without the cooking on stove for 5 mins? We don’t do any cooking on our backpack trips. Only rehydrating. Love your site.
Sure, but you have to start the rehydration 6-8 hours before your dinner or breakfast
Is the nutritional info per serving or for all 4 servings?
Nutritional info shown in recipe is per portion.
Hello, how long will this last for?
Hi Natalie! It can last years, if dried and stored properly. For best result, pack it into vacuum-sealed bag and keep in the freezer.
Is 1 cup of the dehydrated mixture equal to 4 servings?
Hi Lauren! 1 cup of dehydrated mixture equal to 1 portion.
I love this recipe for my guided trips.
