The salt in most commercially dried foods helped me switch to cooking and dehydrating my own food. It tastes better, is fun to prepare and is a whole lot cheaper than the commercial stuff.
Here's a "how-to" site: Freezer Bag Cooking

Anyone know of a rice and bean mix without all the salty seasoning? Everything I've tried tastes like a wad of salt. Even the seasoning in Zaratin's reduced sodium products is overwhelming. I'd really prefer just the rice and beans, and season it myself.

On the trail, I use minute rice and Old El Paso Black Bean in the foil pouches. If we are base camping, I don't bother and dehydrate the beans. If on a travel trip, I dehydrate either Old El Paso or canned beans.
Check the recipe-cooking sections. They might have good suggestions.

Haven't seen the foil pouches. I'll check it out today at the grocery store. Thanks Grandma.

Perfect. Got several bean varieties. Thanks.

Have you tried Knorr's Red Beans & Rice Sides? (WalMart) A 7-minute simmer meal. If no fish to cook up..... trail sausage, chicken, gd. meat and turkey jerky substitute well. One packet is too much food for me so I split in half (5 mins. simmer time) and vacuum seal.
