For many people food is a very important factor while hiking and for some people it is not very important as long as they get the required calorie. Personally I bring materials or I dehydrate my own food. If it's hiking I'll keep it easy and light but for camping I enjoy the luxury of cooking fresh food.
- Andrew has many great recipes with details here:
But for hiking I even go simpler.
My favorite hiking recipes:
- Beef jerky.
- Nuts + dehydrated fruits (banana and pineapple are my favorite)
- Granula bars (home mad or from grocery store)
- Beans: I cook beans (I love red beans)+ onion + garlic. I add some sauce (Ragu chunk mushroom is my favorite) then I dehydrate them. I dehydrate the meat separately or I use jerky(I make jerky too). When I finished dehydration I add mash potato or hungry Jack dehydrated hash brown and keep them in a Ziploc for each meal. In the filed I just need to add water and boil and keep in a cozy. You may add crackers for luxury.
- Dehydrated mac: this is just your favorite mac at home but dehydrated. I add mash potato to absorb the extra water and add some more calorie.
- Instant rice or fast cooking rice: Boil for few minutes and keep in cozy. I add jerky and/or beans at the end.
And an open farm with fruit trees is the heaven.
Believe it or not this was the breakfast, because a bear took my food bag during the previous night and the noodle was the only thing the bear didn't take.
And if I have time and I am camping, I can go more luxury:
