Additional Notes

Back Country Cuisine employs freeze-drying technology to preserve natural flavors and nutrients: Frozen ice crystals are sublimed under vacuum, leaving a dry product that rehydrates quickly to a tender, juicy meal. The meal is packed in nitrogen-flushed foil pouches to maintain freshness and quality for years.
