This is a high-protein/low-carb instant meal recipe; I have included the nutritional stats below the recipe.
Pulled pork isn’t used as commonly as freeze-dried chicken in outdoor recipes, but it is an excellent source of lean protein. Every ½ cup (dry) contains 16 grams of protein, so it packs a nice punch. One tip on pulled pork is if the can has large pieces, break it up a bit. It breaks apart easily, so you will have even rehydration.

Notes On Freeze-drying:
Buying freeze-dried ingredients is very easy these days. Most anything you want is ready to buy online, especially at Amazon. We both buy ingredients and freeze-dry our own.
