I love this stuff. Rehydrate it and put it in my pasta or mix with eggs and they are just as good as the real stuff.

Rehydration with chicken beef vegetable stock or water. Direct into sauce leave for a few minutes to to rehydrate. I like to buy eg whites and mix into make omelette. Fully cooked crumble also heat for camping.

I truly love these products but in the past four months only the prices have gotten totally out of hand I’ve even personally have written these companies do to that fact that they have triple tripled their prices for these in just a couple months if I had better preserving skills I would definitely be make myself but even the freeze driers are crazy expensive you’d think that they would make these prices much more reasonable so more people could become prepared for emergencies, I do love all these products and companies that help with preparedness but by gouging the consumer to make staggering profits is very disheartening to me when I wish all could afford to be prepared for floods, natural Disasters lockdowns and many more other scenarios I do recommend these products but find the costs going crazy high in a time when people should be pulling together.

First, let’s set expectations: no rehydrated food is going to retain the exact same flavor and texture it had prior to being freeze dried or dehydrated. This stuff is pretty great considering those limitations. Here’s how I’m using these for backpacking. Breakfast Burritos At home, store in a ziplock bag: 1/3 cp powdered eggs (same brand) 1/4 cp dried sausage crumbles 1 tsp powdered butter 1 tbsp dried green bell peppers (Separate bag): Kraft single (I like white American) 2 flour tortillas Salsa packet or two (McDonalds, or similar) Olive oil packet (about a tbsp) At camp: 1. Pull out your bag of dehydrated goodies. Add 1/2cp of water and cold soak for 30min (or more, of you have time). 2. After soaking, throw into your camp cooker and heat over medium-high heat. Stir in olive oil and cook. 3. Tear a slice of Kraft single into strips and layer into the center of each flour tortilla. 4. After the eggs cook, spoon mixture into the center of your burritos, on top of the cheese. 5. Top with salsa pack, roll and eat. Taste notes: pretty decent! The sausage crumbles are a bit harder than fresh, but taste like sausage. The texture is similar as well, just a bit firmer. In a burrito, this meal feels like a breakfast luxury. Powdered egg, cooked with other things, is fairly indistinguishable from fresh eggs. The salsa helps to bury the flavor differences. The olive oil adds a bit of fat to improve texture, taste, and boost calories. Other notes: Adjust water for altitude. Kraft singles aren’t real food, so they keep just fine on the trail without refrigeration. Olive oil packets are a huge help with basically anything you cook trailside.

My wife was looking for something like the sausage used on take-out pizza and found this. She also has used it in omelets and other foods. Very good flavor and easy to use in cooking so she is very satisfied.
