Ration Adventure Menu Lightweight Vegan Lentil Dhal

The Vegan Lentil Dhal is a freeze-dried ration from the Adventure Menu Lightweight range: a hearty Indian-style lentil soup with ginger, chilli and coriander, designed for extended trips where every gram in the pack counts. Net weight per serving is 116 g, with a total packed weight of 525 g — a useful figure when planning multi-day food logistics.

The Lightweight range is built on real cooking: recipes are developed by chefs using fresh ingredients, not powder blends. The Vacuum-Dried / Tasty freeze-drying process removes up to 80 % of the original weight and reduces volume to a minimum, while flavour, aroma and nutritional values remain fully intact. The result is a ration that stands clearly apart from quick-rehydration products based on starches and artificial flavourings: what ends up in the bowl is recognisable, and the calorie content is genuine.

The formula is entirely free from animal-derived ingredients, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians even on expedition. This matters on multi-day group trips: a single ration covers different dietary requirements without the need for separate supplies. The trade-off to bear in mind is that a spiced lentil soup requires hot water for full rehydration — cold-water preparation is possible but extends the time needed and reduces the flavour payoff.
