Rehydration Ratios

When creating your own backcountry recipes, it's important to know just how much water it's going to take to rehydrate your dried and powdered foods. Too much and you'll end up with soupy vegetables; too little and your dehydrated meal won't fully rehydrate.

We've put together a comprehensive Rehydration Ratios chart of all of our freeze-dried and dehydrated ingredients to help you determine just how much water you'll need!

This should help you in considering the cooking method that works best with your dish:

• Cool-Water Cooking
• Cook-In Bag Meals
• One-Pot Meals

Here's a preview of what you'll find in our chart:
