Planning the perfect travel itinerary is stressful enough without constantly worrying about where your next safe, healthy meal is coming from. That is exactly why we engineered our authentic Indian food to travel the world with you.
However, no two trips are exactly alike. Backpacking across Europe requires a completely different packing strategy than taking a fast corporate flight to Dubai. To make sure you have the perfect dining experience on the road, we offer two distinct styles of travel food packaging.
Let us break down the exact differences between our ultra compact Pouches and our standalone ready to eat meal tubs so you can choose the absolute best option for your luggage.
The Standard Pouch
The ultimate space saving champion for backpacks and heavy luggage.
Best For: Airbnb stays, long term backpacking, and hotel rooms with basic kitchenettes or microwaves.
The Meal Tub
The self contained dining experience. No bowls or plates required.
Best For: Airport layovers, train rides, corporate office desks, and transit stations.
š Deep Dive: Why Choose The Pouches?
Our standard pouches are a marvel of modern compression. Because we use advanced freeze drying technology, we remove all the water weight from the food. This allows us to seal massive, hearty portions into a flat, incredibly lightweight packet.
If you are trying to avoid overweight baggage fees or packing a hiking rucksack, the pouch is your best friend. You can literally stack ten of these meals into the corner of a suitcase. However, to eat from a pouch, you will need access to a separate bowl or a cooking pan to mix the dry ingredients with boiling water.
š Deep Dive: Why Choose The Meal Tubs?
Our ready to eat meal tubs are the absolute pinnacle of convenience. They were engineered specifically to be the ultimate travel food for flights and trains.
The tub itself acts as your cooking pot and your dining bowl. All you have to do is open the lid, ask the flight attendant or the train steward for a cup of boiling water, and pour it directly into the sturdy plastic tub up to the marked line. Give it a quick stir, seal the lid tight for five minutes, and your dinner is served.
These act as the perfect On the Go meals because they generate zero dirty dishes. When you finish eating your delicious Idli Sambar or Veg Biryani, you simply throw the empty food grade plastic tub into the recycling bin and continue your journey.
The Final Verdict
Choosing the right packaging completely comes down to your destination. If you are heading to a rental cabin with a stove and want to save maximum luggage space, pack a stack of pouches.
But if you are facing a long layover at an airport, riding the rails across Europe, or just want zero cleanup after a long day of touring, you absolutely must pack our premium tubs. They are simply the smartest, most convenient hot water Indian meals ever created. Browse the Spice Up Foods collection today and mix and match your packaging to build the ultimate travel pantry.
Common Questions About Our Packaging
Do the tubs and pouches have the same 6 month shelf life?
Yes! Both our pouches and our on the go tubs use the exact same freeze drying and oxygen absorbing technology. As long as the seals are unbroken, both versions will stay perfectly fresh for 6 months without any refrigeration.
Do the tubs contain less food than the pouches?
Not at all. Both the tub and the pouch contain the exact same generous portion of dry ingredients. They both rehydrate into a massive, filling meal that will keep you fully energized for your travels.
