Our Verdict

Real Turmat has designed a wide range of meals that are tasty, light-weight and aimed at everyone and for any kind of outdoor activity. With a good balance of weight, calories and taste the range has been very popular. The range uses a unique drying process that removes only the water from the original dish. This secures a nutritious and lightweight meal – really easy to prepare without removing any of the flavour.

There are also the ‘Field Meal’ range which are designed for a balanced diet, developed for personnel in challenging situations. They generally have more calories included to help replace those used on longer or more challenging adventures.

TASTE TEST – 381 kcal, 184g net weight. The instructions tell you to add to a fill line but it’s difficult to see on the inside – I prefer to measure the water. Worked out 300mls boiling water, you can use cold water but I like my porridge hot. After 3 mins, really disappointed, expected a smooth consistency, but the oats are whole, it’s just like eating a bag of oats with cinnamon on it – there’s some apple in there but not enough really to improve the taste, so not for me, 4/10.
