Ready Hour Freeze-Dried Fruit & Veggie Mix — 56 Servings, 30-Year Shelf Life, Flood-Safe Bucket

Whether you're building a go-bag, stocking a pantry for long-term storage, or packing lightweight food for backcountry trips, this Ready Hour assortment delivers shelf-stable produce that rehydrates quickly and keeps well. The kit comes in a rugged plastic bucket with a handle, and the contents are separated into seven resealable pouches so you only open what you need. All items are manufactured and packed in Salt Lake City, Utah, using both domestic and imported ingredients.

What fruits and vegetables are included and how do they taste?

The assortment features a variety of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables selected for flavor, texture after rehydration, and nutritional variety. Freeze-drying preserves the natural taste and color better than typical dehydration, so many people find the pieces pleasant for snacking straight from the pouch or as additions to meals.

• Multiple fruit varieties for sweet snacking or cereal topping
• Vegetable pieces suitable for soups, stews, or side dishes
• Light, crunchy texture when dry and quick rehydration in warm water

How do I use the freeze-dried fruit and veggies in meals or emergencies?

In emergency scenarios, the light weight and long shelf life let you move supplies easily and prepare quick nutrition with minimal equipment.
