I do know that the food i ordered two years ago I just used and it was fine. The dehydrated foods just last. **Q: Do these actually reconstitute well? Some things just don't so am wondering from those who actually use. Thanks.** A: The hotter the water you soak them in the better. I usually put them into my pot of boiling water and let them steep in it for at least an hour on the edge of the fire before even trying to do things with them. It does help to season the water with salt, pepper, garlic while steeping. The final texture isn't quite like fresh but they do soften up very well. If you're preparing them at home for use in soups or stews about 2-4 minutes in the microwave covered in water works quite well also. I have used the peppers and onions in this manner in potato salad and they remain crisp in the salad and don't fall apart or get mushy. The celery would probably work just as well too. **Q: Im trying to figure out about how far all of this will go. It says 50 cups, but I can't seem to figure out a meals per day/how many days, comparison??** A: Most of the veggies call for one cup of water for 1/4 cup of veggies. So what I do is supplement my dehydrated meal with 1/4 cup dried veggies of my choice and add an additional cup of water above what the meal calls for. Using this method, 50 cups would last me a very, very long time. I don't know if you're using it this way or not. Most backpackers use them like this. **Q: What is the shelf life on these products?** A: Hi From their website. http://www.harmonyhousefoods.com/Q-A_ep_29.htmlQ: What is the Shelf-life of your products?A: The shelf-life of any dehydrated product is indefinite--as long as you can isolate them from moisture and oxygen. Because of the premium, clean, high-grade quality of our products, we have chosen to package them for daily use--rather than keeping them concealed in a can for years (this is usually a lower cost, lower grade product, designed for survival only--not taste). The suggested shelf-life of our premium products (opened or sealed) is 12-24 months. The reason the range is so broad is because of climate variations. Most customers can expect an even longer shelf-life for our products. This is assuming an average climate and original packaging. If you live in an excessively humid environment, or do not have a climate controlled house, storing the items in the refrigerator will reduce moisture and extend the life of the product. Our premium products are packaged for daily use, and are not "survival grade" quality. However, because of the quality of our food, many users feel safer using them for their long-term storage needs as well. If repackaged in storage pails with oxygen absorbers, or resealed using a seal-a-meal type unit, you can extend the life of the product as much as those packaged in cans. Please be aware that high humidity and unstable room temperatures can decrease the shelf-life of dehydrated products and other food items, regardless of how they are sealed or the manufacturers claims. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***Y on July 13, 2016* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***. on June 18, 2016* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***S on September 1, 2025* ## Frequently Bought Together - The Backpacking Kit - 18Ct Premium Lightweight Meals in 1 Cup Resealable Pouches by Harmony House Foods, Single Set - Harmony House Dehydrated Vegetable Sampler – 15 Count Variety Pack, Resealable Zip Pouches, For Cooking, Camping, Emergency Supply and More - Ready Hour, Fruit & Veggie Mix, Non-Perishable Freeze-Dried Food, 30-Year Shelf Life, Portable Emergency and Adventure Food Supply, Durable Flood Safe Container, 56 Servings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/1620862-the-backpacking-kit-18ct-premium-lightweight-meals](https://www.desertcart.id/products/1620862-the-backpacking-kit-18ct-premium-lightweight-meals) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
