## Description

Product Description          Use an ingredient in you backcountry kitchen.             .com          Cooked freeze-dried diced beef, salt.Frequently Asked Questions How long will the food last? Most products have a 3-5 year shelf life under proper conditions. Products containing shrimp, tuna, brown rice, nuts, and dairy products have a shelf life of one to two years.What are proper storage conditions? The best is a cool, dry environment for our products. The cooler the better. High heat that occurs in a garage or the trunk of a car is not good for these products.How does AlpineAire Foods extend the shelf life of food? By using freeze-dried and dehydrated ingredients, most of the water is removed from the item. Each product contains an oxygen absorber, which is iron oxide pellets. Iron oxide attacks the head-space oxygen remaining in the pouch once the pouch has been sealed. Oxygen has moisture so the absorber collects the oxygen and thus slows down the oxidation process that can occur. Oxidation leads to rancidity.Is the oxygen absorber harmful? No, it is not harmful, but do not use it as a spice packet. It tastes awful.What is freeze drying? Freeze drying is a process used for instant or quick rehydration of certain dried foods. The first step in freeze drying is to rapidly freeze the food. The water content, now frozen, is turned directly into a gas and withdrawn from the food during the next steps, vacuum and low-heat, thus avoiding the shrinkage. Many of AlpineAire's products are custom freeze dried to suit strict quality requirements. Freeze-dried products include grains, beans, fruits, meats, seafood, pastas, vegetables, and eggs. Using this process, 98% of the moisture is removed.Key advantages of freeze-dried products include:The original taste and nutritional value of the food is retained due to very low heat temperature that is used. Foods are quick and easy to prepare. There's no waste. It's an ideal method for maintaining flavors of meat, poultry, and fish. Extends the shelf life of the product. No preservatives are necessary. Results in a super-lightweight, compact product. A wide variety of foods are available. Use hot or cold water to rehydrate. What is dehydration? The standard method of dehydrating vegetables and spices is to place the items on a conveyor belt and run them through an oven at a high temperature for a relatively short time. About 90 to 95% of the moisture is removed. Some vegetables are more suited to this form of drying than others. This means that with the addition of water, the product rehydrates back to its original state more easily. Preferable items include: onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, celery, carrots and mushrooms. Dehydrated items such as peas, corn, and green beans do not rehydrate as well as freeze-dried.What are proper storage techniques? It is crucial that you store food properly:Avoid exposure to heat and moisture; make sure foods are not accessible to insects or animals. Never store food directly on the ground or on concrete floors--moisture can build up inside containers. Avoid such storage places that experience temperature build-up such as attics, garages, or car trunks. Ideally, storage should not exceed room temperature for extended periods. Store in a location that's accessible so that periodic inspections are easy and you can rotate supplies. Avoid excessive and rough handling of pouch and canned foods.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    It is what it is
  

*by A***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2013*

Stores well.  Tastes okay.  Not great.  Not awful.  Kind of fatty flavor.  If you like that sort of thing, maybe you'll enjoy it more than I do.  But as a little something extra to add to a cup of instant ramen noodles, it works quite nicely.  I'd imagine it's a great backup for camping / hiking when you're not able to catch fish or other game.  All-in-all, it is what it is.  No more.  No less.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great
  

*by B***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2014*

Easy to cook and prepare, but doesn't end up with a rubber texture like most other dehydrated meats. Tastes pretty good too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    entirely edible
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2006*

ok, so it's not a great meal, but you probably guessed that.I bought several varieties of these pouches from AlpineAire because we have one person in our family who requires a special diet, and I want to be prepared for emergencies. AlpineAire makes several GF pouches which fit our needs, and I can find them easily at a local sporting goods store. In addition to this beef pouch I got the roast beef hash and the brown rice.  None of them were horrible, just not great.  They would definitely serve in an emergency situation and are much better than the camping freeze dried foods we had as kids.  They do seem a bit heavy handed with the spices, which is a problem when you're feeding kids, but otherwise are acceptable.What you need to know about them:They do require clean, hot, water to rehydrate.The steeping time on the packages was always a little off- the hash never did quite rehydrate all the way down.Because you pour the hot water into the pouch- it becomes HOT!!!!  and they don't stand up on their own. At least not the ones I tried.  I had to prop them against something while they steeped, and one time the rice fell over and spilled some of the water. So be careful- not a job for the kids to do.There was a lot of water left in the bottom of the pouches.  It made the last several bites very soupy and unappealing.  I ended up draining as I ate, but it seemed that the left over water and the rehydrating problem are probably related.  Maybe if you stir the contents of the pouch halfway through it would be better?All in all, they serve very well as back up food as long as you will have a source of clean water and a way to heat it.  If you think your situation may be more dire than that- look elsewhere.There is a large variety of entree, side dishes and even desserts available.  You can find them at stores like REI, or order direct from their website [...]for other choices.  The 2,or 4 serving sized pouches are nice and the website has other, canned items, that are shelf stable for a longer period of time.Bottom line: I will be ordering more for "just in case", along with water purification tablets and our camping stove.  Someone said, wisely I think, that this stuff is like food insurance.  And like other types of insurance, you're really hoping you never have to use it.
