Don't panic, yet. Get emergency food needs now.

Mountain House freeze dried foods provide a variety of meals not available or suitable with other long-term storage methods. The limitations of canning, freezing or dehydrating means that some types foods or ingredients are going to be left out of some survival food programs.

Too often the “unpalatability factor” keeps some people from doing much in the way of preparedness. Good news! For those “foodies” out there, Mountain House free dried foods offer the homemade taste and nutrition you are looking for.

Mountain House Freeze Dried Foods

The main reason for the superior taste of Mountain House food is that every meal is created from fresh or frozen foods and prepared with the same attention to detail that you would use in your own kitchen. Unlike some competitors, they never combine a bunch of dried ingredients and package them.

For ease of preparation, Mountain House freeze dried meals can’t be beat. By the simple addition of hot water and a 10-minute wait, you can have a delicious and healthy meal. Unlike dehydrated, frozen or fresh foods, no cooking is required for these freeze dried meals. Not only does this save on the amount of water used in food preparation, but it requires much less fuel; both commodities which can be in short supply in a survival situation.

Freeze-dried foods last up to 25 years!

Mountain House freeze dried foods come in two different packages, with vastly differing shelf lives. These foods are nitrogen packed in airtight pouches or #10 cans, with at least 98% of the oxygen removed by a combination of vacuum air removal and nitrogen flushing. While this is more costly due to the extra effort, the result is that not only are these meals great, but they will last for years; the #10 cans for 25 years and the pouches for 7 years.

Here are just a few of the freeze dried meals in #10 cans offered by Mountain House:

  • Beef Stroganoff
  • Beef Teriyaki
  • Chili Mac w/Beef
  • Beef Stew
  • Lasagna w/Meat & Sauce
  • Seafood Chowder
  • Sweet & Sour Pork w/Rice
  • Granola w/Blueberries & Milk
  • Eggs w/Bacon
  • Vegetables: corn, green beans & peas
  • Chicken, diced
  • Beef, diced
  • Ground Beef

So you can prepare your favorite recipes, there are also #10 cans of meal ingredients such as: corn, green beans and peas, as well as, diced Chicken and diced and ground beef. The meat is real, freeze dried and not TVP (texturized vegetable protein), which in my experience has all the palatability of salty shoe leather.

Lightweight and perfect for an evacuation

Now, trying to bugout with a backpack of #10 cans of light-weight freeze-dried food just isn’t going to happen. The bulk alone makes that impossible. However, you do not have to leave the convenience and advantages of freeze dried foods behind if you are forced to leave your home.

Mountain House freeze dried foods also come in 2 and 4-serving pouches that are perfect for either a bug out or a weekend of backpacking in the National forest. Here are just a few of their freeze dried foods available in pouches :

  • Hamburger patties
  • Beef Stew
  • Beef Stroganoff
  • Potatoes & Beef
  • Spaghetti w/Beef
  • Grilled Chicken
  • Noodles & Chicken
  • Turkey Tetrazzini
Vegetarian freeze-dried entrees available

For those who prefer not to eat meat, Mountain House also has a number of meatless meals that provide nutrition and homemade flavor, such as:

  • Pasta Primavera
  • Potatoes & Broccoli
  • Vegetable Lasagna
  • Wild Rice & Mushroom Pilaf
  • Dried Granola w/Blueberries

Why am I recommending Mountain House so highly? One, they have the best reputation for quality in the entire freeze-dried foods industry. They’ve been in business for 35 years, and have been around long enough to know for a fact that their freeze dried foods last for 25 years.

Supplier to the U.S. Military

With that reputation, they have become the primary supplier of ready reserve meals to the U.S. Government and U.S. Military. Additionally, they have year after year, been rated by backpackers as the easiest to prepare and the best tasting light-weight foods on the market.

You do not want to find yourself six months into a long-term survival situation and discover that the canned and dried food you have so earnestly gathered is no longer viable. With freeze dried foods that is one worry you will not have. Ensure your family’s dietary comfort in an emergency or disaster situation, and consider some of the Mountain House freeze dried foods available through Nitro-pak.
