Adventure Menu Ration Penne Bolognese with Parmesan 400 g

Single-serving freeze-dried meal weighing 400 g, designed for demanding days in the field: each pack delivers 460 kcal and 27.2 g of protein, enough to restore energy after hours of outdoor activity. The lightweight format fits without bulk into any pack or cargo pocket.

The nutritional profile is built around macronutrient balance: 56 g of carbohydrates for immediate glycogen replenishment, protein from beef and pork (9% each) for lasting satiety, and just 13.6 g of total fat per serving — a low figure that won't weigh you down during activity. Salt content is 0.8 g per serving, enough to offset sodium lost through sweat without going overboard.

The freeze-dried format offers extended shelf life without cold-chain requirements and preparation with hot water alone, which simplifies logistics in any outdoor setting. Compared to canned or retort pouch alternatives, the weight is notably lower and the volume stays compact until rehydration: the trade-off is that hot water must be available, something to plan for in environments where fire or a stove is not always accessible.

Key points

• 460 kcal per serving with 27.2 g of protein: enough energy for physically demanding days without adding unnecessary carry weight.
• Saturated fat kept to 3.2 g: the meal digests easily and won't slow you down in the hours after activity.
• Recognisable ingredients — durum wheat pasta, tomatoes, beef, pork and Parmesan — without masking the flavour profile with heavy additives.
• Freeze-dried format: no refrigeration needed, low weight and compact volume until rehydration.
• Prepared with hot water only: no cooking equipment required beyond a heat source.
