Sca, that is true-a lot of their dried veggies you need to soak. I had primarily looked at their dried soups & things though-better tasting & more nutritious ramen, as it were. And their cracker selections, as well as their sweets-they have some amazing confectionaries at the local store!
I just think its a nice mix of longer term food staples-beats mac & cheese, which I can take or leave.
