Our Verdict

TORQ have stood the test of time in the hydration and energy snack market, whilst many other brands have come and gone. Their years of experience have allowed them to develop highly effective products that really do work. 

As a company, TORQ focus on using the highest-quality ingredients they can and they also put a lot into scrutinising their production methods. This means you are getting products that are amazing at helping you keep going on the hill, without any dodgy unethical ingredients or practises going into their manufacture.

They're also conscious about the effects their products and packaging have on the environment and do a lot of research into ways to lessen their impact

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - Overall, this rich tomato and basil sauce was a comforting and warming dish. The flavors were deep and complex, with a slight sweetness that balanced out the acidity of the tomatoes. The sauce was thick and flavorful, with a slight tanginess. Everything was well rehydrated, but there was not much variety in the texture. The basil added an excellent fresh quality that permeated throughout the dish.

Material & Construction

  • Open pack, add 350-400ml of hot water, stir well, zip pack back up and wrap in clothing to insulate for 10 minutes.

    Once rehydrated, stir again and add more hot water if desired. For a richer flavour, use less water, but allow slightly longer to rehydrate.

  • The pouches are heat sealed and some air is trapped inside them. If you would like to expel the air to reduce the volume of the pack before your trip, partially tear into the top of the pack, expel all of the air and use the zip-seal to reseal the pack. Adding a small piece of tape to the tear in the pack will ensure that contents are then 100% secure.

  • Ingredients: Instant Pasta (Durum Wheat Flour, Water) (33%), Tomato Powder (17%), Maltodextrin, Kibbled Mushrooms, Corn Flour, Sun Dried Tomatoes (Sun Dried Tomatoes, Salt) (7%), Pea Protein Isolate, Sugar, Sea Salt, Onion Powder, Coarse Ground Black Pepper, Basil (0.3%), Garlic Powder.
