I'm a big believer that we are what we eat, or don't eat.
I also believe that the closer we can get to eating things that are not overly processed the better off we'll be.

However like most things, the Devils in the details. Just becasue something is billed as organic or the guy selling it says it is, doesn't mean your getting what you think you are?

The difference price wise between organic food and "processed" food is considerable. Make sure your getting what your paying for.

I Googled Organic food, pros/cons and there are numerous articles addressing it.

In the BWCA/Q, you can't go wrong with fresh fish for a high quality protein source. I like to make my own food mixes sans preservatives.

Wild rice or anyone of the complex grains you can buy at health food stores/Internet in bulk can be partially cooked/dehydrated and reconstituted in camp with a little effort.

Do your experimenting at home, not in camp.
I have an old edition of the One Burner Gourmet a bible for back packers.
I just substitute whole grains for processed and made adjustments in the seasonings to cut back on the sodium.

You can eat as healthy as you want with a little effort. Leaving out the preservatives shortens the shelf life, but a little planning takes care of that.

 

Get a good dehydrator and a book detailing how to make your own trail food.
You'll save money and can tailor your meals to your taste and individual diet requirements.
