Turmat in Norweginan means „tour food“. It is one of the three categories of food from Drytech company, which deals with the development and production of dehydrated food. Another series are Real Field Meal and Real on the Go.
Real Turmat is a category of dehydrated meals from the Norwegian brand Drytech. It is a great way how to save space in your backpack and at the same time have balanced and nutritious diet that gives you plenty of energy for your next adventures.
Scandinavian quality is well known, and Drytech brand operates in northern Norway, specifically in the city of Tromsø. The nature there is full of resources that Drytech can turn into sources of energy. The quality food from this company's workshop was also noticed by the Norwegian army, for which it became the exclusive supplier of field food and emergency supplies. Professionals and survivalist pack Real Turmat products into their survival kits and at the same time, food from this brand is among the supplies intended for emergency situations.
Founder Rolf Hansen got the idea for Drytech in 1989 when he was looking at his wife Lill holding a bowl of homemade stew in her arms. And he started to think how to preserve her dishes. In their garage, Rolf Hansen reinvented the science of freeze drying technology. Technologies have changed since then, but one thing has remained - the Hansen family still owns and runs the company.
Drytech brand follows the footsteps of ancestors. And that's simply because it prepares and preserves its food when it's in season. In January, company employees prepare all the cod dishes who in that very month embark on a long journey from the Barents Sea to the warmer waters of the Norwegian coast. Autumn is the season of vegetables, berries and meat for Drytech.
The Drytech technology is kept secret. It is only for the key personnel, the Food Safety Authorities and the international certification associations. But the basics are - first make the perfect meal, then freeze the stew and ingredients down to very low temperatures. Then slowly and gently add heat in a way that neither taste, colour, energy nor vital vitamins gets the chance to escape. The process continues until all the water has disappeared. And voilà, we have perfect dehydrated food.
Just add hot water, stir well and wait 8 - 10 minutes until all ingredients have the desired consistency. After that all you need to do is enjoy your meal.
Real Turmat represents one of the categories of food from Drytech, whose products are intended for outdoor activities. This category offers tasty lightweight meals for everyone. Another category is Real Field Meal, which is even NATO approved as balanced diet for professional personnel in challenging situations. And the last category is Real On the Go, which is a series of nutritious snacks (protein and energy bars, beef snacks and energy drinks).
