Organic freeze dried food - From organic farming

Organic freeze dried meals

You may notice that nowadays, organic farming is increasingly recommended. This is not really surprising given the health benefits it offers. Since freeze-drying food is applicable to all, some companies produce organic freeze dried meals.

Where to find them?

Freeze dried meals are not commonly available. Organic products as typically seen on shelves are expensive. They come from agriculture without specific inputs, just natural methods. This doesn't make their development easy. Also, production yields are not substantial. To offset expenses, they are sold slightly more expensive than products from intensive farming. Few companies take the risk of investing in this sector. We are not aware of all those who do, but we can inform you about some popular ones. For brands that have proven themselves in the organic sector, we can mention:

• LYO FOOD: of Polish origin, this company covers all areas of freeze-dried food. Its organic products comply with government regulations;
• VOYAGER: like M×3, this is also a French organic brand. In France, these two companies have proven themselves in organic freeze-dried products.

This list may grow over time, as new competitors in the market try to match these pioneers. When you need organic freeze-dried food, don't hesitate to contact us. We stock several organic products from these leading suppliers.

Benefits for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts

Organic freeze dried meals offer several advantages for hikers and other expeditioners.

Good physical health

Freeze dried meals are an advantage for people engaging in this type of activity. They provide the body with essential nutrients it needs. Freeze-drying is a process that takes place without chemical additives. As such, organic freeze-dried products remain organic. You don't need to worry about product quality. From plant-based products to animal products, everything is organic and good for your health.

You therefore have less risk of contracting certain diseases such as cancer, obesity or other pesticide-related illnesses. These foods are good for your health and offer excellent nutritional quality. Consequently, the risk of indigestion is reduced. Organic freeze-dried products contain fewer elements such as gluten, fat or sugar.

Taste and appearance

Organic products are renowned for being the juiciest and most flavourful, not to mention their superior appearance. The freeze-drying process preserves these qualities intact. Indeed, an organic freeze-dried product will always retain the same taste and characteristics as the original product. The flavour remains pronounced even after rehydration. You get the same product as you started with, but with less fat and fewer excess nutrients.

Cost

Contrary to what one might think, organic freeze dried food is not expensive. They are even more affordable to manage than non-freeze-dried ones. When you consider the expenses you might incur to purchase certain organic fruits, the choice is quickly made when it comes to freeze-dried products.
