Expedition Foods’ delicious light-weight meals provide the perfect nutrition for a wide range of outdoor pursuits. Freeze-drying food is the most successful method of preservation, making it taste better, look better, weigh less and last longer.
Expedition Foods says
Beef, red kidney beans and onions in a chilli tomato sauce with rice.
Preparation: REMOVE THE OXYGEN ABSORBER* (Sachet) from inside the pouch. Slowly add up to 230ml hot water, stirring as you pour and then close the bag. Wait 5-8 minutes for the food to rehydrate.
Cold water will suffice in an emergency, however the re-hydration time is much longer
The oxygen absorber helps maintain product freshness and is non toxic.
Expedition Foods meals have a long shelf life of up to 5 years.

| STAFF'S TASTE TEST - This Chilli is surprisingly spicy! If you love spicy food this is a great option however, if not, it's probably best to stay clear. Everyone thought that the texture and flavours were good and the inclusion of full kidney beans went down well too. The score was divided by our staff between the spice lovers and those who thought that this was too hot, so it's worth bearing that in mind. |
