What's the differences?
Kultured Wild Adventure Nutrition
100% home made by hand real meals
Absolutely zero preservatives, flavours, colourings or additives
The bulk of ingredients are low-tox, organic, and gut-friendly
Quick to rehydrate, retains 95% of nutrients
Energy balanced for the demands of daily walking with a menu set to tailor your fuel requirements
Other Brands
Often contain emulsifiers, colourants, flavour enhancers and preservatives
Have a carbohydrate load that is not balanced with energy needs
Not tailored to gut health and can be difficult to digest
Can have excess packaging and still doesn't taste as great as home made food
Home Made & Dehydrated
Dehydrated food loses up to 50% of its nutrient value - not ideal for energy and nutrition needs
Still heavy when on a multiday hike - poor energy-to-weight ratio
Very time-consuming and difficult to rehydrate - can take a lot of fuel in the backcountry
What People Are Saying
Sandy, Roma
Tasty & light
Mark, Sydney
This freeze dried food is a game changer in the back country. It weighs less than dehydrated food, doesn't contain anything nasty, fills you up and gives you good clean energy, and tastes amazing!
Add boiling water, and it's ready in less than a minute. You can even use the pouch it comes in as a bowl. No more buying iffy meals for me.
Kylie, NSW
Although I hike a lot, I never bought shop hiking food because of the additives, high sugar load, and unknown quality of the produce. Now I can get whole food, homemade with macronutrient ratios that I know will support my body on the trail. I couldn't be happier.Â
Andrea, Perth
After many years multi day hiking with dehydrated food, I found freeze dried to be simple, tasty and so much quicker to prepare. The ingredients are top quality. Just add hot water, stir and eat!!! It's excellent for plane travel, visiting friends and being away as I can maintain the best diet for my health needs. I highly recommend it.
