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.

Important WARNING for California Residents

Black Beans

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

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

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.

My favorite by far!

We aren’t supposed to have favorites with kids, but when it comes to food, that’s fair game! I love the flavors and textures of this meal. It doesn’t have any problem rehydrating and really tastes like it’s been cooked fresh at the campsite. Such a satisfying dinner after a long day of putting in miles!

3.5 stars waaaayyyy too much lime

Serving size is on point and the quality is on point as well, but there was way too much lime. It was overbearing for the other flavors for me. If they cut the lime down about 60% then I think it would be top notch.

Delicious and healthy

I have purchased many brands of dehydrated food and this could possibly be the best brand. The single size could be a tad larger, but is enough for me. The double portion is definitely too large for one person, at least me. I ordered both to figure out which size is best for me and the single will suffice.

I’m doing a 500 mile section of the PCT and just ordered a month’s worth of their dinners. The flavor, variety and cost were great, as compared to other brands, and I’m looking forward to trying all of them on the the trail.

Excellent company and products!
