Very cool, I've never seen it packed that way either. Great find!
Not cheap at $1.19/packet, but tempting. Seems right-sized, too.
I've been putting a spoon full of ghee into those pill sized mini zip-lock baggies. When needing to use it I cut off one bottom corner and squeeze out the contents. Works very well.
You know, you can clarify your own butter by simply heating it slowly over low heat and then tossing out the solids at the bottom of the pan. Works best in a double boiler set up, but will work in any pan/pot.Quote:

I pour it into a jar with a screw top and keep it in the refrigerator. Great for saute and frying.
Great idea.Quote:

If ya want Organic Spectrum brand can be had for 99 cts on sale at WF.
Just found the Coconut packets at TJ's which are awesome.
Another cool find that I enjoy is the 1/4 FL. Ounce packets of Coconut Aminos. Basically a soy sauce alternative but without the soy and MSG. Great on rice, noodles, etc.

What a wonderful addition. I didn't know it was available in packets. I used the Braggs Organic Coconut Liquid Aminos at home.Quote:

Viola!
quick and easy. I store them in a big ziplock in freezer and pull out whatever I need for hike. I use these fats for everyday cooking and I think trying to stick with a fairly normal (for me) diet on trail helps prevent stomach issues.
i like the idea of using the little pill packs, maybe I got the wrong kind but the ones I got leak.
I think the prefilled ones would be great to mail order from amazon for resupplies.
Thanks for this link. I like the honey packs.Quote:
