Question 1

Does this product contain Bell Pepper? (My family is allergic)

Accepted Answer

Yes, the vegetable soup mix has bell pepper in it.  The ingredients are:  Carrots, Onion, Tomatoes, Peas, Celery, Green Bell Pepper, Green Beans, and Parsley.

Question 2

What kind of nutrition can I expect from this? I don't know how dehydrating vegetables affects their vitamin/mineral content.

Accepted Answer

Fresh is best for sure, but dried veggies lose very little of their nutritional value when they go thru the dehydration process. They retain most of the minerals, most of the vitamin A and some of the B-vitamins. What they lose are the volatile nutrients like Vitamin C and beta carotene. You can, however, minimize this loss by dehydrating at lower temperatures or pre-treating the food with chemicals like sulfur dioxide. You also can add back some vitamin C by dipping the food in citrus juice or citric acid.

PACKABLE: They are lightweight and take up a fraction of the size of their fresh counterparts. You can place them at the bottom of your food bag and not worry about them rotting or bruising while you walk.

EASY PREP: Similar to other dried foods, dehydrated vegetables are convenient for backpacking. They are ready-to-eat so you don't have to spend time cutting or chopping them. Just pull them out of the bag and drop them in your food. You also don't have to worry about spoilage even when you are on a long stretch between resupplies.

Question 3

Could you please list ALL ingredients?  For example,we have allergies and need to avoid nightshades ie: tomatoes,peppers and potatoes. Thanks

Accepted Answer

The vegetable soup mix lists: carrots, onion, tomatoes, peas, celery, green bell peppers, green beans, and parsley. The tomato powder and dried celery don't have an ingredient label. I would assume they contain tomatoes and celery.
