COSTCO has two cases of ground beef for $450, I can get it for $441. That comes out to $37.50 per can (normally $56). There is one member that wants a case in the Snohomish area, are there any other people that would like to get some? http://www.thrivelife.com/freeze-dried-ground-beef.html

OK I now have two people that each want a case at $221 each in the Snoho area. I'm going to contact fishranger that is in the area, and a rep to see if he wants to facilitate the transfer. I594 laws apply, and buyers subject to a BGC. (just kidding)

I can certainly handle that. If the interested parties want to check in with me, I can get that ordered up. Thanks Chuck.

How is the stuff? I know FishRanger is listening, but I would like an honest review. If you clowns say it's OK I'm in as well.

I have made some good beef stew with nothing but Thrive How do you rehydrate the chicken? With an equal part of Thrive freeze dried water. 1 cup of water will reyhdrate 1 cup of freeze dried water, which you can then use to rehydrate the chicken.

All joking aside I generally like the the Thrive products.
I have some questions about this beef before I commit $200+
1) Why the "corn protein"? 2) How well does it hydrate? I have had issues with other products not evenly hydrating. I mean this is always present to some extent, and light years ahead of the old days. I think Thrive is tops compared to some back packing stuff, but it's always a question when I have super mushy parts and crunchy parts. 3) How does this ground beef taste?
Thanks!

Like ground beef that has already been cooked, and the fat drained off. I believe it starts out as 80/20 beef.
Thanks! For breakfast I make sausage gravy and start with melting some butter. I then throw the sausage or beef in the butter to kind of caramelize it. I then add the water, bring it to a simmer, then add the gravy ingredients. For the beef most of the time I don't pre-hydrate it, I just add it into whatever I'm making. I almost always start with butter, and chopped garlic that is sweated with the beef. thrivelife.com/recipes has some good ones.
