Adventure Menu Lightweight Lentil Dhal Vegan Ration 400 g

The Lightweight Lentil Dhal is a 400 g vegan freeze-dried ration based on red lentils, designed for anyone who needs a hot, complete and packable meal during airsoft sessions, hikes or long days in the field. With 28.7 g of protein per serving and 413 kcal, it delivers a solid nutritional profile without relying on any animal-derived ingredients.

The recipe centres on red lentils at 38% of the formula, complemented by chopped tomatoes, onion, turmeric, garam masala, cumin, garlic, ginger, chilli and fresh coriander. The flavour profile follows a traditional Indian dhal: a thick, spiced dish that covers carbohydrate (52.5 g per serving) and fat (9.5 g per serving) requirements without weighing you down. Salt content is 3.5 g per serving, a figure worth keeping in mind during prolonged physical activity with heavy sweating.

As with all freeze-dried rations, the real consideration is not taste but weight and bulk: the lightweight pouch fits into any pack without eating into space reserved for gear. The trade-off to factor into planning is that preparation requires hot water in the field — anyone operating where heating liquids is not an option needs to account for this. May contain traces of gluten.
