Shelf life:<\/strong> 3-7 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>
Pros:<\/strong> tasty, useful open tab and fill line, some have long shelf life; lightweight food for backpackers or anyone carrying their own grub<\/p>\n
Cons:<\/strong> harder to pack as they\u2019re rigid, more expensive than others<\/p>\n
Unlike most other dehydrated camping meals, Real Turmat<\/a> pouches are vacuum packed, so they\u2019re more compact \u2013 but also rock solid and won\u2019t slide into your backpack as easily as slimline pouches. They\u2019re also more expensive than others, but their impressive taste and texture could make them worth the cost. These are a great option if you\u2019re willing to spend a little more on camping food.<\/p>\n
Real Turmat\u2019s selection includes standard dishes with around 600 kcal; Field pouches, which are the same meals with 700 kcal; and Arctic Field Rations with up to 1,519 kcal. Across these ranges, the makers say they prioritise high-quality ingredients and slowly freeze-dry them to retain nutrients, texture and flavour. We were impressed to see the low levels of saturated fats in the meals we tested.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fair to say the hot chocolate muesli and the pulled pork meals we tried were probably our favourites across all the brands on test. The \u2018Sjokoladem\u00fcsli\u2019 was deliciously flavoursome and comforting, and we loved the melting chocolate chunks as an alternative to the many fruity porridge meals you can buy. Plus, it was ready in just three minutes.<\/p>\n
As for the pulled pork, it looked and tasted just like a normal meal. One tester described it as \u201crich, tomatoey and wholesome, like a feelgood stew\u201d, and another: \u201cmy favourite of the lot\u201d. The flavour was great, with a strong taste of oregano, while the rice was well-cooked and filling. In short, it was extremely easy to eat and many of us went back for seconds.<\/p>\n

Camping on foot or by bike<\/h3>\nIf you\u2019re carrying all your food on your back or your bike panniers, you\u2019ll need lightweight and compact meals. Dried noodles are one option, ideally in slim sachets rather than bulky Pot Noodle-style cups.<\/p>\n
