Frequently Asked Questions
Are the vegetables in Addme packs real, or flavouring?
Real, dried vegetables — carrots, spring onion, sweet corn and green pepper, not a vegetable-flavoured seasoning.
Does the mix need to be soaked before cooking?
No. It goes straight into the pot alongside whatever you're cooking.
Which product has the most vegetables per pack?
Mealmate is the vegetable blend on its own; Noodlemate and Ricemate combine it with a noodle or rice-sauce base.
How is the vegetable mix dried?
The different vegetables are dehydrated to remove moisture and help them last longer for safe consumption.
Can I use it in dishes other than rice, pasta or noodles?
Yes. Mealmate is designed to go into any dish you're already cooking, including soups, stews and leftovers.
How long does an opened pack last?
The shelf life after opening depends on how the pack is stored. Keep it sealed tightly in a cool, dry place and follow the storage instructions and expiry information on the package.
Does the dried vegetable mix contain added sugar or salt?
No, the dried vegetable mix does not contain added sugar or salt.
Can I buy the dried vegetable mix on its own, without any protein?
