Review: Perfect for my 5-night backpacking trip! - I bought this package for a 5-night backpacking trip and was extremely pleased with the quality and quantity. I'm a health-conscious foodie and outdoors enthusiast, and I refuse to sacrifice eating delicious, healthy meals just because I'm in the backcountry. The veggies were extremely fragrant and tasted wonderful, my trip mates with their factory-produced, pre-packaged meals were super jealous. I mixed and matched the items in this package (plus some additional outside ingredients as noted) to create the following meals: -Mexican-style bean and veggie blend: black and pinto beans, potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, corn, and onions. (Outside ingredients: corn tortillas, fresh avocados, herbs and spices, and dehydrated egg mix for a tortilla breakfast soup) -Italian white bean and vegetable soup: white beans, green beans, onions, celery, carrots, bell peppers, peas, and cabbage. (Outside ingredients: dry pesto sauce mix packet from Safeway, sun dried tomatoes, herbs & spices.) -Creole red beans and rice: red beans, bell peppers, celery, onion, corn, tomatoes. (Outside ingredients: minute brown rice, herbs & spices) -Deluxe vegetable ramen: cabbage, peas, green beans, carrots. (Outside ingredients: instant ramen package, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried nori, wakame, kombu, and dulse seaweeds) -Indian-style curried veggies and lentils: lentils, carrots, potatoes, green beans, peas. (Outside ingredients: curry powder, minute brown rice.) I really enjoyed mixing and matching the ingredients to make my meal plan for the week and the package included enough for 2 people (breakfasts and dinners, that is) for a 5-night trip like mine. Would definitely order again and recommend to all vegetable loving backpackers.
Review: quality dehydrated veggies. - foods good, needs to be cooked a little longer and a little more water than recipes indicate for my taste though.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the shelf life for these?**
A: Honestly, I dont know about shelf life. I do know that the food i ordered two years ago I just used and it was fine. The dehydrated foods just last.

**Q: Do these actually reconstitute well? Some things just don't so am wondering from those who actually use. Thanks.**
A: The hotter the water you soak them in the better. I usually put them into my pot of boiling water and let them steep in it for at least an hour on the edge of the fire before even trying to do things with them. It does help to season the water with salt, pepper, garlic while steeping. The final texture isn't quite like fresh but they do soften up very well. If you're preparing them at home for use in soups or stews about 2-4 minutes in the microwave covered in water works quite well also. I have used the peppers and onions in this manner in potato salad and they remain crisp in the salad and don't fall apart or get mushy. The celery would probably work just as well too.

**Q: Im trying to figure out about how far all of this will go. It says 50 cups, but I can't seem to figure out a meals per day/how many days, comparison??**
A: Most of the veggies call for one cup of water for 1/4 cup of veggies. So what I do is supplement my dehydrated meal with 1/4 cup dried veggies of my choice and add an additional cup of water above what the meal calls for. Using this method, 50 cups would last me a very, very long time. I don't know if you're using it this way or not. Most backpackers use them like this.

**Q: What is the shelf life on these products?**
A: Hi From their website. http://www.harmonyhousefoods.com/Q-A_ep_29.htmlQ: What is the Shelf-life of your products?A: The shelf-life of any dehydrated product is indefinite--as long as you can isolate them from moisture and oxygen.  Because of the premium, clean, high-grade quality of our products, we have chosen to package them for daily use--rather than keeping them concealed in a can for years (this is usually a lower cost, lower grade product, designed for survival only--not taste).  The suggested shelf-life of our premium products (opened or sealed) is 12-24 months.  The reason the range is so broad is because of climate variations. Most customers can expect an even longer shelf-life for our products. This is assuming an average climate and original packaging. If you live in an excessively humid environment, or do not have a climate controlled house, storing the items in the refrigerator will reduce moisture and extend the life of the product.  Our premium products are packaged for daily use, and are not "survival grade" quality.  However, because of the quality of our food, many users feel safer using them for their long-term storage needs as well.  If repackaged in storage pails with oxygen absorbers, or resealed using a seal-a-meal type unit, you can extend the life of the product as much as those packaged in cans.  Please be aware that high humidity and unstable room temperatures can decrease the shelf-life of dehydrated products and other food items, regardless of how they are sealed or the manufacturers claims.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ quality dehydrated veggies.
*by R***S on September 1, 2025*

foods good, needs to be cooked a little longer and a little more water than recipes indicate for my taste though.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT dehydrated food- CLEAN- no chemicals or additives.
*by S***. on June 18, 2016*

I love how clean and simple this food is. So many backpacking/camping meals are filled with nasty chemicals and additives; there is a definite shortage of clean camping food on the market. This is it- simple bags of ONE ingredient each. If you want to make meals out of it, you must combine ingredients yourself, but at least you know it's not going to make you sick or give you cancer. I do strongly recommend supplementing the meals you create with seasonings. Eating this stuff without seasoning is less than thrilling, but a little bit of spice, hot sauce, or just salt & pepper goes a long way to making this food delicious. If you're hiking or doing other high-energy activities, I recommend supplementing these meals with noodles or rice. This is primarily veggies and beans, which are great, but not enough for sustaining high energy levels. Overall, I LOVE the taste and ease of preparation, and I will definitely be a repeat customer.
