Sides

Yes. Both Pumpkin & Potato Mash and Coconut Rice Pudding are made from real, Australian-sourced ingredients. There are no freeze-dried or reconstituted components just wholesome, cooked meals sealed for freshness. This means you get authentic flavour and texture, just like homemade, whether you’re outdoors or at home.

You can heat most sides by placing the sealed pouch in boiling water, using a flameless heater bag, or by emptying the contents into a pot or pan. Our Ready-to-Eat Basmati Rice and Obento Japanese Udon Noodles can also be heated using the included flameless heater bags, making them quick and versatile options for camping and travel. The rice can additionally be microwaved in its cup for fast preparation.
