FAQS
FAQS
Holy calories! Is that a typo?
Nope, it's true—540 cals per serving and a whopping 1,070 cals in an entire double serving. If you're embarking on a long-distance hike, or just burning a ton of calories, look no further. This is our highest calorie entrée.
Is this meal spicy?
Not so much hot, as it is flavorful. Poblano, black pepper and cumin come together to create big, bold flavors with a balanced spice. If spicy-hot just isn't your thing, have no fear! This is a mild dish.

Cuban food to go? You bet. Big, bold flavors with a balanced spice take this rice bowl to new heights.

Garlic crema sauce and plantains create unique flavors you’ll find in no other camp meal.

This product has been lab tested with an extended shelf life and will have a minimum of two years to consume until its expiration date.
Black Beans
Protein rich and loaded with fiber and antioxidants, black beans are highly popular ingredient in Latin American cuisine. They have a rich, slightly sweet and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with rice—finished off with our own garlic cream sauce.
Long Grain White Rice
Mild in flavor, with less starch than shorter varieties, its the perfect foundation for our Cuban Rice Bowl. White rice is known to help stabilize blood-sugar levels, and is high in protein and carbs, and is considered easy to digest.
Plaintain
This starchier, less-sweet cousin to the banana is high in vitamin C, fiber and minerals. They have a rich, buttery flavor perfect for use in savory foods and are a staple in Cuban cuisine.

Tied for the Best!
We consider this meal tied for the best (tied with Thai Curry). We love the plantain chips and it's very similar to the picadillo we make at home and what we had when we were in Cuba in 2019! It's always our go to when traveling and we super pumped that it works for breakfast as well.

The best
It's absolutely delicious. I want to learn to recreate it at home. It also has more calories than the majority of backpacking meals and even satisfied my hunger on a thru hike, doing 15-20 miles back to back for weeks at a time.
