—When refreshing any freeze-dried food you will need to follow the directions on the can or just let sit in warm water for about 20 minutes or less depending on the food. It will come back to the same exact consistantcy as it orginally started.
—If your food is uncooked then you can proceed to cook it with other vegatables, pasta or rice and spices to give it that normal tasty flavor just like when you cook normally. I highly recommend getting a starter pack of pouches of different items so that you can test things out and know how to cook these things before the time comes when you need to do it.
