Patagonia Provisions

An In-Depth Review of Patagonia Provisions: Is it Worth It? - AFAR

"Packaged as a ready-for-camping kit, this two-day meal box includes five pouched meals (red bean chili, green lentil soup, mushroom “savory grains,” red raspberry breakfast grains, and creamy banana breakfast grains), three tins of seafood (roasted garlic mackerel, savory sofrito mussels, and smoked mussels), a box of wild sockeye salmon, smoked venison links, and a chile-mango dried fruit pack, plus a hybrid menu guidebook/cookbook with serving suggestions (for example, using the sofrito mussels in a paella). Most items heat in under 10 minutes and can be prepared in a skillet or saucepan; the kit supplies roughly 2,400 calories per person per day. In tasting, the salmon was firm, flaky, and not overly smoky, the smoked mussels were excellent on crusty bread, the chili was flavorful when briefly boiled and rested then served over polenta with shaved cheddar, the breakfast grains were velvety, and the snacks were well seasoned — overall, everything in the box was enjoyable. The product line emphasizes responsible sourcing aimed at regenerating soil and ensuring animal welfare and has committed to using packaging that is reusable, compostable, renewable, or recyclable by 2025." - Katherine LaGrave
