"Instant Vegies"?

[Greg Mihalik]

Source …?

See next post ….. etc. etc.

The “Just Tomatoes!” folks sold to “Karen’s Naturals” and Karen seems to have dropped the ball.

The “Just Veggies” pack includes freeze-dried corn and peas for fast reconstitution, plus air-dried carrots and peppers, plus dehydrated tomatoes. It is an attractive and tasty combination that comes back fast in a cozy of hot water.

I was about to reorder when I discovered this loss. I am saddened.

What are you using for your “instant” vegetables mix?

Packit Gourmet And Honeyville Farms both have nice FD veggie options.

i’ve been using beli luci sun died tomatoes from the grocery store, 3 ounce package

I’ve always used and have been very satisfied with Harmony House Foods

The three sources mentioned above are all quite good in my experience, but…why not dehydrate your own?  I have yet to find a commercial source for dehydrated ingredients that equals, much less exceeds, the quality of DIY dehydration.  They do offer unparalleled convenience however.

Edit: perhaps I misunderstood the OPs meaning of “dropped the ball”, but it appears Just Veggies are still available.  Have they changed?

[Matthew / BPL]

Y’all probably know this already and just my $.02 but I prefer freeze dried over dehydrated because the taste/appearance is closer to fresh veggies and they rehydrate more quickly.

[JCH]

I would have to agree with Matthew that FD is generally better than dehydrated, but also more expensive and not DIY.

“not DIY”

They do make home freeze dryers, you can get a small one for around two grand.

[Jerry Adams]

an ad popped up for that freeze drier

one will pop up for you soon

one would have to freeze dry a lot of food to make financial sense

[BlackHatGuy]

Not everything has to make financial sense….

(and I don’t see ads….)

[Jerry Adams]

just wait : )

@JCH –

I was unable to find them on amazon and incorrectly concluded that they were MIA everywhere.  I subsequently did find that the 8 oz packs were available through the King Soopers chain.

Thanks all for your suggestions.  I’m ordering my home freeze-dryer soon.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I can’t wait to try sOme of these brands and take on my next trip… perfect addition to a Thai peanut noodle, snacks,

I did NOt realize Freeze dried food can last up to 25 years. Amazeballs! Better start preppin…

David, Mountain House claims that their #10 tins will be fine for up to 25 years. This is due to them flushing all the air (oxygen) out with nitrogen (an inert gas), and then sealing the can. They claim that their regular products will be remain good for 5-6 years.

I have been using them for years and have been very pleased. Freeze dried food in #10 cans. I do wish I got more of their freeze dried crab before it was discontinued.
