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

I bought this Augason Farms Vegetable Medley Blend thinking the can would be smaller, so I was a bit shocked when I pulled it out of the box; it’s much larger than I expected. That’s completely on me for assuming instead of reading the details, but honestly, it ended up being a pleasant surprise because I got far more product than I anticipated. Since it was more than I needed for just myself, I sent half to my son. He loves using it in ramen, and I’ve been using mine in tuna salad, chicken salad, dips, and various other recipes. The vegetables rehydrate well and taste fresh, and they’ve worked perfectly in everything I’ve added them to. This turned out to be a great purchase. The quality is excellent, the amount is generous, and it’s incredibly convenient to have dehydrated veggies on hand for quick meals. I’ll definitely buy this again.

so good. you can add a cupful to soups, gravys, etc. tasty and crunchy.

This product is great. Its hard for me to keep fresh vegetables without allot of waste. I use this in many different meals and im happy with the quality. Easy to make and its easy on my stomach. Ill be trying other products as well. They dont seem to get mushy when cooked in a soup. Will be buying more of this product.

Can was very hard to open with a regular can opener (had to ask a neighbor with an electric can opener to help), but once I finally got at the vegetables they were delicious and flavorful. They were excellent with my ramen and I’m excited to try more recipes!

These dried veggies are great ! My husband had a stroke in 2022. Up until that time, he was a big meat eater, but no veggies, fruits, or whole grains. After the stroke, his diet flipped ! All he would eat was candy, cookies, Little Debbie's cakes, garbage. He's had stomach issues since the stroke, but would not eat ANYTHING that remotely looked like food. Unless it was total garbage, he wouldn't touch it. He also wouldn't listen to me about the need to eat healthier to rehab his body. I was at my wits end. Finally I found these veggies and the lightbulb came on ! I bought these and before using them, I grind them into a powder with my spice grinder. I mix them into foods that he will eat like "homemade" brownies, microwave mug cakes and small batch cookies. I use 1/4 cup of them before grinding and put them into these small batches. He loves the no bake chocolate/peanut butter cookies, made with oats, so I make them a lot with a double batch of the veggies, and a full scoop of chocolate protein powder, because the recipe that I have for them makes quite a few. He doesn't even know they were in there. I am doing the same thing with protein powders, and collagen powders. I use them all in different foods. Like the veggies powder in the brownies,and no bake cookies, (it seems easier to hide the veggies in them), the protein and or collagen powders in the cakes and/or cookies. I also bought some fruit and veggies capsules from Amazon, which I give him once a day. I tell him it's a multi-vitamin. Between all of this, after a little less than month or so, I guess it flipped a switch and now he's requesting scrambled eggs, tuna salad, egg salad, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and he even had a good sized dish of my homemade pot roast, complete with potatoes, onions, celery, and carrots served on some brown rice last night ! I'm going to keep supplementing his foods with this process. By the way, I also use them for myself, by rehydrating them and adding them to my ramen, and I've even used them, as they come, but rehydrated in a mayonaise based pasta salad I've been making myself. Thank you Amazon and Auguson Farms for helping me get some nutrition into my husband, when he refuses to do it for himself ! If anyone is going through this with a loved one, I pray this helps you, and I would be glad to help with my recipes that I've used for him. My email is [email protected]

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 .

This was perfect for making Chicken/Turkey pot pies and added to my turkey soup too. My daughter stole the rest of my can so I ended up buying two more. They are dehydrated so they can last a long time so you can use it when you want and won't spoil. Perfect to help absorb the liquid if your soup is too watery also by just adding a little more. Saves time and tastes great!

What you see is what you get, and that is a can that is about 70 % 1/4" diced potatoes with the remaining vegetables being flakes and particles, many being much smaller. You can see how many are floating on the surface of the water in the 3" ramekin while rehydrating. This has been rebranded from the stew mix that it truly is and shame on Augason Farms for trying to pass it off as anything else. My suspicion is that this is a way for the company to package the "tailings" from dehydration of other vegetables and if you have ever done any home dehydrating you know what I'm talking about. The quality isn't bad in terms of flavor, after a 10 minute hot water soak everything was already easy to eat and tasty. But again the extremely small flakes made the cabbage, onion, and celery all look alike and I don't think I can see any red peppers. If you are buying this as a long term food storage item you may want actually try cooking with it and see how it works for you. It should be a good soup/stew starter as it was originally intended but if you are buying it as a pantry staple to have dried vegetables on hand for quick meal preparation then you're likely to be as disappointed as I was. If I hadn't gotten it for a deep discount I'd be talking to Amazon about a refund.
