Most people forget fats in their storage, but this is the secret to making freeze-dried proteins edible without them tasting like wet cardboard. It reconstitutes better for pan-searing than the cheaper margarine-based alternatives I've tested.
⚠ Worth knowing: The Whole Survival Silkworm Pupae are a high-protein novelty but have an earthy, pungent profile that will dominate any dish they are added to. If you aren't comfortable pressure-cooking with strong aromatics, stick to the beef dices for your base calories.
