A taste of the tropics, wherever you make camp. Creamy coconut rice comes together with black beans, bananas, and cilantro in a sweet and savory Caribbean-inspired dish that's as comforting as it is flavorful.
The nutritional labels are clear, and I received prompt and helpful communication when having troubles with an order.

Do not Know
The meals did not arrive before I left on my trip. So I had to purchase another brand of freeze dried meals. I knew from previous experience that shipping was slow from Backpacker’s Pantry but I thought I had given enough time for the shipment to get to me.
Hey David,
I am sorry the food didn't make it to you in time. Please reach out to me at info@backpackerspantry.com and we can make this right.
Thanks!

a great foundation
this is the entree i most regularly buy for it's consistent flavor and texture. it's on the subtle side for flavor, but i like adding chopped dried mango and can see it being a good canvas for whatever other add-ins you might be craving. meals with more assertive flavor can be very limiting, whereas this is more versatile. texture wise, it feels like rice and beans you just cooked - not crunchy, not strangely gummy or too soupy or weirdly astronaut-y. like a reliable pot of rice and beans you made at home. that's enough to keep me happy on the trail!
Thank you for leaving such an excellent review, Helen! We are so glad you enjoy our Cuban Coconut Rice & Black Beans. We love the idea of adding dried mango or using this meal as a base for creative outdoor cooking!

Incredibly bland
This is so bland that it feels like something went terribly wrong in the production process. There is zero hint of any flavour and it’s even lacking salt. If plain beans and rice is your thing, then this would be great, but don’t expect anything more than that. It's so surprising since the other Backpacker Pantry food we've had is full of flavour, but this was such a letdown, especially after a big day of hiking.

This is great with something else, too, like curry or spicy veggies.
