Freeze dried chow is a ticket to constipationville. I’ve switched to canned food. I think it’s more nutritious and better tasting. A can of pineapple chunks in juice is much better than gnawing like a mouse on freeze-dried apples.
And if you prefer freeze-dried, the local grocery stores can provide pretty much everything you want, except the exotic stuff like taco flavored TVP, about the only recycled shoe leather I ever found tolerable.
I view freeze-dried foods as something to throw in with my beans and rice to make it more edible. This also greatly stretches out the freeze-dried dollar.
You can add water to freeze dried food. Actually, that's the intention.
