Dehydrated  food is the lightest and easiest food to prepare while on the trail.
By carrying dehydrated food while hiking you can save up to 90% of the weight of conventional food.There are so many choices  that everyones tastes are covered. Stews, cassaroles, pasta and  rice are a few of the choices there are. Desserts and dehydrated fruits are great food for snacking while hiking as are trail mixes and nuts for those without allergies. You can even have ice cream!!
Natural High foods need no cooking just add water.

Carrying dehydrated food while hiking is easily done using little space. It can be ready to eat quickly using just one or two pots and a small stove or fire. This means even less weight to carry.The only extra ingredient would be water which you can carry or by using a water filter system you can purify water as you need it.
Completely dehydrated food can be ready to eat in just a short period of time with very little effort. If you can boil water you can prepare fully nutritious meals in under 15 minutes or so. One thing to keep in mind is the portioning of dehydrated food packages. These are generally not the biggest and if you have had a long hike you will likely be hungrier than you think. The heavier meals like stews and casseroles can probably help to alleviate this problem. Hot breakfast foods like oatmeal can get your day off to a good start. Try taking different flavours if you are going to be out for more than a day or two.
