Dehydrated or Freeze Dried Conversion Chart?

[yari]

Does anyone have a link to or know of a chart that would tell you how many ounces of dried or freeze dried food you end up with after preparing so many ounces of the dried food? Something like 1 ounce of dried beef = 3 ounces after preparation?

I say you should just grab a digital scale and take your own measurements to see how much your food weights once dried.

I'm sure dried vs. 'wet' food weights can vary between each cook.

Also, 1 g = 0.0353 ounces.

Here ya go:

Fresh/Dry Equivalencies (http://www.packitgourmet.com/FreshDry+Equivalencies-sp100.html)

This shows how much fresh food it takes to make one ounce of dehydrated/freeze-dried food -- so not exactly the same thing but it should give you a pretty good idea.

That is good enough, thanks!
