Freeze-Dried Backpacking Meals With Beans or Lentils

About bean and lentil meals

These meals put beans, lentils, or chickpeas at the center — think dal, black bean burritos, lentil soup, and three-bean chili where the legume is doing the heavy lifting. Meals that also contain a meat protein (beef, chicken, pork, etc.) are excluded, so everything here is vegetarian-friendly by ingredient. Always confirm on the actual package.

What to expect

• Dal, lentil soup, black bean burritos, three-bean chili
• Plant-based protein — no meat ingredients
• Verified from the ingredient list
