Freeze dried food

Hi, I'm trying to find some where that sells veg, freeze dried so I can jar up meals in bulk, (found the idea on pinterest), it saves loads of money and I can't find anywhere as yet to buy it. I'd be grateful for any help.:D

    I have bought some kind of food from mountainhouse. You can also buy from honeyvillegrain.

    some local farm shops have a frozen section with veg, but most supermarkets (and Iceland/Farmfoods/Fulton foods/Heron foods etc) all sell frozen veg.

    "frozen" and "freeze-dried" are two totally different things

    Thanks for your reply, is honeyville in the uk ? I've heard of them but could only find the u.s. one and they don't deliver to the uk.

    Have a look on healthysupplies.co.uk they have things like onions, tomatoes. Amazon sell this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Buy-Whole-Foods-Online-Ltd/dp/B007CX3CH6

    Your best doing a search on google for 'dehydrated vegetables UK' as opposed to freeze dried vegetables you will find UK based whole food suppliers, they do exist.

    You can dehydrate food yourself you know, if you can buy in bulk when things are in season it can be worthwhile.

    Thanks , I am toying with that idea but wanted to see how I got on with 'meals in jars' first, and try my hand at 'canning'. Grateful for any tips offered though.

    If you wanted to try a small amount first, as you're experimenting, Asda sell Whitworths Dried Country Vegetables. They're 43p for a 50g box.
