I received this product free in exchange for my honest review. There is no reason I have to brag on this company, but I was seriously impressed with how good the food was. So for those of you looking to increase your storage of food, read on.
A few weeks ago, I received an email from a company asking me if I'd consider reviewing their food product for free. They'd send me the food. I'd eat it and blog about it. Easy enough. All righty. No problem. Free? Count me in!
I then received three meals in the mail. It was only after I received them that I looked closer at the company: eFoodsDirect. I'm sure they had no idea when they were sending the meals to me that I was married to the husband I was -- a husband who believes immensely in having your family prepared for unforeseen disasters. I realized that this company specializes in being prepared for life's storms -- storms of all kinds.
How good could a package of food that you just add water to be?
Really, really good. I mean, I was pretty blown away by how good ... and healthy ... the products were. We had the: Cheesy Chicken Rice Casserole and the Creamy Potato Soup, and we have one more meal yet to be eaten. The Potato Soup was some of the best Potato Soup I have ever had -- aside from soup served fresh, obviously. I would eat this over canned soup any day. Abigail loved the rice casserole. She ate it up like crazy! Sidge and I both had seconds as well.
All of their products are dehydrated. "Dehydration is a low-heat process that removes moisture from food and shrinks down the product to create several servings in each container. Dehydrated products take up less space, they do not contain any preservatives to maintain the integrity of the product, and they are much more affordable than freeze-dried food. One misconception about dehydrated products is that they are only offered as individual products. eFoodsDirect offers dehydrated products packaged as complete Quick-Fix meals, perfect for hunting, camping, fishing, or on-the-go activities close to home."
In addition, they are all: dehydrated from premium-grade fresh raw foods which are not genetically altered. There is no added MSG, no imports from countries using illegal fertilizers or insecticides, and there is no hydrogenated oil.
They estimate their shelf life at about 15-25 years.
So why would you buy this product? Well, the idea is that you have a year's worth of food saved in your house. This would be in the case of a world disaster or natural disaster. But it would also be in case of job loss or simply to cut costs in a rising recession. You can also use the meals for camping or to assure elderly or teenagers are eating good meals when they are on their own. As a mom, they are incredibly easy to prepare as well.
I used to think JB was a little "over-the-top" in his desire to have our family prepared so well. But then I realized that my desire to SAVE could be factored in. Now, if I see a special on peanut butter, I can buy ten jars and we can store them for the future. Obviously you need the space to do this. You also have to not be living paycheck to paycheck. We started doing this after we got out of debt because while you are still in debt, you want to make sure your money is squashing the debt. But being prepared for the future, especially with food that you know will taste good is, in my opinion, never a bad idea.
You can get some free meals for yourself too. Learn how you can get 6 free meals from eFoodsDirect. (You have to pay $9.95 for shipping and processing so it is not completely free.) And, since I received it, they obviously ship to APO boxes.
