Is dehydrated food more ecological to produce?

The calorie content of our food varies across the range: we make meals that are nutritionally balanced and great-tasting instead of choosing a calorie target and then adding high-calorie ingredients until we hit that target. 

Our range of main meals extends from 500kcal up to 635kcal for the standard portion size, and from 750kcal up to 940kcal for the extra large portion size.

Our standard pouch of food (105-135g) will serve one hungry person. These are not the 300g portions you get in a packet of wet food, nor the ungenerous portions you get from some of our competitors. When rehydrated, these weigh in at a hefty 500g or more — perfect for a satisfying and generous meal at the start or end of a long day.

For each of our menu options we also offer an extra large serving size (160-200g dry) which is ideal for more calorie-demanding expeditions and outdoor pursuits.

The process of drying food is not what determines whether a meal is healthy or not. Firepot's dehydrated meals are a healthy option because of our commitment to using all-natural ingredients and avoiding chemicals and artificial additives. 

Both processes involve removing the water from food to preserve it. Freeze-drying involves freezing the food to a very low temperature and drying it in a vacuum to remove moisture. Dehydration involves passing warm air over the surface of the food to remove moisture.
