+1 home made
Those cheap packages use cheap ingredients, low quality wheat, the cheese is mostly salt, some milk powder & cheese flavoring plus preservatives. The 'gourmet' brands with better ingredients cost arms and legs.
Forget those for travel energy maintenance (like for packing that lens around
)
Home made for trips can use good organic ingredients, elbows cost least, buy bulk (
https://www.azurestandard.com/) measure into portions.
Real cheddar cheese powder & whole milk powder, some spices like garlic, crushed red peppers, coriander, chives (
Frontier Co-op | Bulk organic herbs, spices, teas & essential oils.), bulk grated pecorino and parmesan (
SavoryFood.net).
Compared costs showed equal cost, cheap packages or organic whole wheat elbows, organic cheeses & organic whole milk & organic spices -- guess which I chose?
