Thread: Dehydrated meals and salt content

Or I use dehy mash (which is 100% potato https://www.woolworths.co.nz/shop/pr...instant-mashed) with nothing added and add a protein. Very cheap, tastes miles better and have a minor weight penalty.

I'll share the pasta mix with my partner and with 340mg sodium per serve that means 680mg of sodium per serve of the pasta plus a bit with the tuna or protein depending on the mix.

Edit to add; my favourite is instant mash, knob of butter, smoked tuna in a can. Tastes like smoked fish pie and I'd eat at home. Sometimes have this for dinner and breakfast in the bush. If you do this, you'll never touch the nasty dehy meals again.

I buy that mash as well, its bloody good & weighs bugger all!
Plus a the ziplock bag makes it super easy
