The Honest Kitchen's dehydrated foods must be hydrated with warm water, before serving. Each bucket of food will make just over 4 times its weight in fresh food, when hydrated.

Our foods hydrate as follows:

4 oz. (Trial Size) is about 1 cup and makes about 1 lb of fresh food.

4 lb. size holds about 16 (Verve) to 17 (Embark & Force) cups and makes about 16 to 17 lbs of fresh food.

10 lb. size holds about 40 (Verve) to 43 (Embark & Force) cups and makes about 40 to 43 lbs of fresh food.

A full standard US Measuring Cup of dehydrated food (which is 8 oz by volume or 4 oz by weight) will hydrate to make about 1lb of fresh food.

Half to one cup of extra meat or other ingredients may be mixed in with each cup of food, once hydrated.
