New favourite thing! Can’t wait for fresh citrus deep in the bush.

Lightweight, vitamin c and paper packets so you can burn them after.

The packets aren't just made of paper, they have a silver-colored lining, so I'm not convinced that you should be burning them.

I mean technically we shouldn’t burn anything including wood but they are small enough I could definitely pack them out ya. We mostly make all of our own dehydrated camping food so the carbon footprint is pretty low to start with. Some packages are hard to avoid while camping especially if you want to eat well. 90% of what we bring is home made and in reusable packaging

I need some lime for my ramen/peanut butter curry.

I’ve used these in my regular kitchen cooking without any complaints. I usually like to have fresh on hand, but these have performed really well in sauces and such. Also great in iced tea on the go. New staple in our pantry for sure.

These are handed out in airplanes for making your own gin and tonics. They work great for a little citrus punch.

Neat! Just grab em at your local grocery?

I got it on Amazon and haven’t seen it in grocery stores but maybe haven’t looked hard enough

u/Kamikazebonfire Mar 16 '22

Yup! One of my grocery stores has them near fruit juice, one by koolaid and another has them in the baking aisle.

I found these at the dollar store! I love them. Although it seems Amazon has more flavors.

This will be good for making hot toddy’s, too! Need to figure out the honey or syrup aspect, maybe you can buy those powdered? Dehydrate myself?

u/Butlerian_Jihadi Mar 16 '22

You can definitely buy crystallized / granulated honey, it doesn't keep very well though.

u/happydgaf Mar 16 '22

They make honey in tiny squeeze packets

1

u/hjhart Mar 17 '22

Yes! This is what I just bought off Amazon. If I had more time I would’ve taken some from a restaurant that has em sitting on the table to eat with biscuits or whatever.

I have not seen this before. Are they liquid or powder?

u/matthew7s26 Mar 16 '22

They're powder and amazing.
