Freeze-dried foods are an attractive option for those looking for ultralight backpacking foods as well as for those seeking nutritious foods and meals for emergency preparedness. The process of freeze-drying allows for food that offers the nutrition of its conventional counterpart, but it is easier to transport and long-lasting.

PrepareDirect offers an unmatched variety of freeze-dried foods from this outstanding brand, including freeze-dried meat, fruits and vegetables and complete backpacking meals. AlpineAire provides flavor and nutrition, which gives you meals that are not only great for storage. They are meals you will actually enjoy eating.
