Freeze dried food

jockmowgli

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.

Thank you, I did just that and that'll do nicely!

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.
