When I do need to carry enough for longer periods in the back country, really rural town-less areas, or otherwise off the grid it is likely to be dried or even freeze dried.
There have been exceptions, like when fresh fruit had been scarce for a while and we ran across a produce stand with great local stuff, but even then, while we did stock up a little I didn't take pictures.
^^ What he said.^^
Fortunately, I ride in the lower Great Lakes area, and am never too far from a roadside produce stand in our too-short riding season.
The one time I went on an extended three-week 'tour', it was in mid August and roadside stands were aplenty. Generally, I had a couple of packets of dry instant oatmeal in the morning, washed down with some water and maybe an apple or whatever I had left from the day before. Then grazed at roadside stands during the day. My evening meal was McDs, Burger King or whatever greasy-spoon diner for a couple of regular burgers, small fries and a shake (and maybe an apple pie), all for under two bucks (this was 1979
)
My bike only carried ONE water bottle in a handlebar mount (no braze-on mounts in those days), so I refilled when/where I could. Yeah, I rode 100-miles/day like that, and yet somehow I survived...
