That’s why I started this service. You bring your own food, and I freeze-dry it so you can carry your favourite meals wherever you go. ### How I Preserve Your Food - You drop off your home-cooked dishes - dal, sabzi, or even restaurant food. - I use freeze-drying tech to lock in taste, aroma, and colour. No preservatives, no MSG, bas asli swaad (just real taste). - Meals stay fresh for 9-12 months at room temp. No fridge needed. - Super lightweight - 10 meals weigh just 1 kg. Perfect for travel. - Ready in 5 minutes with boiling water. Easy-peasy. ### What Else I Pack - Thepla, roti, paratha? I vacuum-pack them for 10 days shelf life. Quick turnaround, just before you leave. - Aamras (mango pulp) gets leak-proof pouches in mango season. ### Few Things to Note - Minimum 2 kg per item for freeze-drying. - Drop food before 2 PM on appointment day. - Takes 2 days to process and pack. - Book at least 10-12 days ahead - last minute is tough. ### Shipping & Extras If you’re moving abroad, I can ship your food anywhere. Clothes, utensils, extra baggage? I’ll help pack and send those too. If you want your own personalized freeze-dried meals for travel, I’ve got you covered. ## Highlights Browse through My Taste My Meal's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/mytastemy.meal/custom-food-freeze-drying-packaging/featured) - [Video: I know the struggle for students abroad.
