Alpine Aire
Alpine Aire has been producing dehydrated and freeze dried foods for 21 years. Designed for both outdoor activities and emergency preparedness, these freeze dried foods last from three to 15 years in storage when kept in a cool, dry place. Freeze dried foods have come a long way, and products by Alpine Aire, which range from entrees to individual items, retain 98 percent of their original nutritional content and 100 percent of the fiber. EarthWave Living is a distributor of Alpine Aire foods for storage and outdoor activity use.
Freeze dried foods by Alpine Aire are available in two forms: pouches and cans. Typically, the entrees and breakfast items #10 and #2 ½ cans have a shelf life of five to ten years, while similar items in pouches last for three to five years. All of these dehydrated packaged meals, which range from breakfast and dinner entrees to soups and desserts, need water - either hot or cold - to become a meal. Pouches, in fact, can have the water poured directly inside and, within minutes, you’ll have a ready to eat meal.
One aspect of Alpine Aire foods that sets it apart are its individual items. Freeze dried foods often come in pre-packaged forms: a meal is already prepared and nearly no cooking is needed. But, for those who enjoy creating a meal from scratch, individual foods by Alpine Aire are available for this purpose. The brand carries several meats, vegetables, grains, and dairy products that are either dehydrated or freeze dried. These various items can be combined together to form a meal and your reliance on pre-packaged and prepared meals is less once you can put together your own.
Aside from individual Alpine Aire foods, the brand offers several kits for emergency preparedness. These combinations of freeze dried and dehydrated foods cover both prepared meals and individual ingredients for food preparation. With pouch and #10 can kits available, Alpine Aire foods offer enough dehydrated and freeze dried options to last a person from three months to a year on 1500 to 2000 calories per day.
