Sustainability is extremely important to us. We conducted a sustainability assessment and decided to go with pouches that are made of at least 49% post consumer recycled material (PCR).

This was the best option for our meals even over recyclable and compostable material.

We do! We start with fresh ingredients and make intense flavor bases for all our meals which are then freeze dried and combined with other ingredients, most of which we also prepare and freeze-dry.

Absolutely! We're thrilled to announce that our meals can now be rehydrated directly in the pouch for your convenience. This is a recent development inspired by feedback from our amazing customers.
