Augason Farms Vegetable Medley Blend Can - Dehydrated Mixed Veggies - Gluten Free Emergency Food Supply with Long Shelf Life for Survival, Disaster Prep & Everyday Meals - 131 Servings

The veggies after preparation are very flavorful, the texture is quite accurate and "fresh" tasting. Theres alot of potatoes. In fact, half of the ingredients are just potatoes. Perfect for certain soups and potato lovers but too much for my liking.I'm currently using it as an healthy addition to instant soup noodles, and I actually prefer not adding the noodles- cooking up some kind of veggie stew instead. The potatoes in this product serves as a good carbohydrate replacement of noodles, and much more healthier I'd say!

Great soup mix. I use it in my ramen. Great value. Cost so much less than the ones made specifically for Raman. And it’s just as delicious, maybe even more so! It’s so versatile too. Try it. I bet you’ll love it too.

This Augason Farms mix is a nice soup/ stew mix for emergency and hiking meals when mixed with freeze dried or canned meats . There other veggies and fruits are pretty good too and something I used allot while hiking and patrolling the AT when working with the Forest Service and staying out for a week or two at a time on the trails .There bucket meal offerings leave more than a bit to be desired and are way to salty and taste only Meh at best ,,,those I don't care for so much or haven't bought more than once . Just like most of the other budget offerings available out there. Most brands are all just empty calories mostly and not much more and many if not most taste like c**p to be honest .There fruits and veggies I like though .

Really easy to use - way too many onions, but still usable. Good in rice and as a mix for other dishes. Rehydrates to over double the volume.

Love this stuff. Once re-hydrated they taste like fresh veggies. I like to use these as a soup starter base. High quality vegetables used. Plus the long shelf life.

The positive reviews for the dried veggies are absolutely well-deserved.Yesterday, I tossed several spoonfuls into a cup of hot broth. After several minutes of soaking up the liquid, the diced pieces felt and tasted like actual raw vegetables! I then realized why the recipe on the can recommended boiling them to both hydrate and cook them. After two more minutes in the microwave, I had a nice instant lunch That was pleasantly-filling. Going forward, I will follow the instructions more closely. However, it is comforting to know that in an emergency, the veggies are edible with minimal prep.I am a bit unsure how to feel about the nutritional value because the label has a lot of zeros. Overall, I think I will mostly add these pieces to fresh or frozen veg to add flavor and “bulk” plus make sure that my family is getting plenty of fresh nutrients.

Delicious to complete soup or stir fry or any dish missing veggies. Rehydrates nicely, good flavor and I feel good after eating it

Weight is as expected. You do know that they use #10 cans as so most emergency suppliers. That means, NUMBER ten, not ten pound. The size is because it allows for continuity in storage, and allows for various volume amounts that also satisfy the weighted amounts (products are sold based on WEIGHT not volume, which means you can have a canister that appears half full, but it has the weight that is being sold). The #10 canisters are also reusable for other needs, and when still fully sealed will float and will take a lot of abuse all while maintaining integrity of the contents. I have not experienced these situations, but that is the idea across all emergency food. Next size up tends to be pails, then buckets, then simply multiples. Be smart.I buy "emergency food" when it is on sale. That's it. The whole point of prepping is to accumulate well before it is needed. I buy regular food and store it well, and only then do I add in "emergency" food. It is great that it is available, but it is fantastically expensive. Even if you dont do any real food preserving, so long as it is away from light and rats, it all will be fine for a long long time. But added assurance is with emergency branded food, and it takes the knowledge and work out of it. But even then, pay attention to prices and buy when the prices dip low. You can amass more food for your buck that way. If and only if you are in a bind (you were late to the prepping game), then yes by all means get what you can.This vegetable stew is not something I plan to open any time soon (I dont think). I buy similar dried vegetable assortments and soup blends for a fraction of a price, and just double bag it before I toss it in a dark cupboard, or with more motivation/ambition I could repackage in mylar or an air tight container. They are all the same, more or less. Difference is with the types of vegetables. I like having different brands for this reason. I use it for quick soups (just need enough hot water to rehydrate), for crock pot meals for simply adding vegetables anytime to anything whether I have fresh on hand or not. Since I was able to get this on sale at nearly same price as my non-emergency veg soup/stew products, I decided to pick up a couple of canisters to tuck away. I took a look at the ingredients and liked the assortment of vegetables (inc potato). The calories being purchased looked good too.My canisters look good, no dents. I would not have been too concerned with mild dents anyway.
