MRE - Meal Ready To Eat

The MRE or Meal Ready to Eat is a powerful and popular long-term survival food strategy. We have a selection of MRE meals for sale here at SOS Products. Our MRE's for sale are full of emergency rations that consist of edible items that may be stored easily in a totally self-contained complete meal. These meals can easily be removed from the case of MRE pack and eaten whenever necessary. The following are a few of the benefits of having a survival subsistence kit like the MRE meal:

A Long Shelf Life Design

A verified survival food program like the U.S. military "Meal Ready To Eat" is also a superb choice when emergencies arise since they have a shelf life of 5 years or more. MRE food is a very long expiration date. This means that there will be plenty of time for your saved materials to be consumed without being wasted. U.S. military meals ready to eat have a very long shelf life compared to other types of dried foods. Most other foods that are dried only have a shelf life of about six months and certainly not the 5 years or more that United States military ration meals-ready-to-eat have. Stay away from a cheap MRE as the expiration dates may already be approaching. All of the MREs for sale here at SOS products are guaranteed to have maximum shelf life. If you're looking to buy MRE meals, always check the expiration dates when you receive them to make sure they’re not already significantly aged. Food scientists have created 3 general types of MRE classes: foundation, dehydrated base, and superior dehydrated base. The base MRE meals are the lowest-priced to purchase and most commonly found type of military meal. Operational rations such as a combat ration often include packets of water and a flameless warmer with the general MRE menu packaging. The shelf life of these varieties of MRE’s is a testimony for their dependability, as is the fact that the government has approved the way these are produced. But make no mistake, these are not a supplement to meals, these are complete meals packed with nutrition. They may not be as tasty as civilian pre-made meals, but they're a self-contained, shelf-stable meal. Since the MRE was created with stockpiling in mind, it is used by military personnel and emergency workers to feed tens of thousands of people within a short period of time. Meals ready to eat most important job is to provide nutrition in a balanced meal that will last for long periods of time and have a proven high rate of long-term survival. MRE entrees do not need any refrigeration to preserve the edibles.

Hearty Cost Effective Meals

Since there's absolutely no refrigeration involved, the food inside of MRE meals are extremely hearty and can be eaten cold if desired. These items include crackers, dehydrated foods, drink mixes or beverages, dessert, jelly, peanut butter, and other freeze-dried foods. Peanut butter, pizza with tomato sauce, beef stew, and chicken are four popular meal kit options people love to eat. Because of the long shelf life span of the MRE's, United States military entree stocks are extremely large and the meals tend to come in bulk. This bulkiness results in the MRE being the least expensive military entrée on the market today. The per meal cost to purchase is very reasonable when compared to other potential options. Due to their size and bulkiness, military meals ready to eat are often packed in aluminum containers with a flameless ration heater that are then sealed and shipped either by UPS or FedEx. These MRE heater units are becoming more and more popular and freeze dried meal rations are becoming less so. Some companies also package an emergency kit like MRE meals in wooden crates that are sealed and have tracking numbers. This is since they are used in many situations where a company needs to transport large quantities of self-contained side dishes or full meals on brief notice such as a crisis. These are sometimes accompanied by a freeze dried food meal bag.

Strong Storage With Bold Flavor and Moisture

Military MRE's are much more resilient and long lasting than normal food. That's the reason why military MREs have a number of assorted meals that are healthful and innovative features in every retort pouch. The items are already dehydrated, which ensures that it is sealed inside its own juices and flavors, such as those with steak stew, chicken, pork sausage and other meats. Freeze-dried food just can’t approach the variety and flavor of an MRE. The 1,250 calorie military MRE comes with their own storage container which is not just appealing but also keeps the product fresh and great tasting as the main course or side dish. The individuals that pack the military meals-ready-to-eat also make sure that the item has been delivered on time and that it is well protected from harmful organisms and germs that could contaminate the entrée. There are also quite a few private hygiene features in the MRE packs that allow you to prepare food in your comfort zone at many temperatures. Whether you are on a business trip or are in the center of a crisis, getting a reliable and well-made food storage program is vital. Whether you've served in the military or are just somebody who frequents remote locations and likes to enjoy decent, already prepared food, this kind of storage strategy can make a huge difference in your life. Military defense MRE's are army self-feeding supplies tailored for use by members of the U.S. armed forces and designed to be used at scale. MRE's contain dried cuisine or entrees which may be heated. These "food packets" include a powdered, freeze-dried, or dehydrated emergency meal or other principal food. MRE's come in several flavors, are packed in containers ranging from one ounce to five pounds and comprise well-cooked, hot meals (from a flameless heater) that are usually more than acceptable for busy military personnel.

MRE's and Freeze-Dried Meals have a long history

Even though the MRE has existed for decades, this is the first time they've been made readily accessible to civilian customers. There is now an extensive market for them. They are sometimes bought second-hand by troops who return home from duty because the MRE shelf life is so high. An MRE includes dry mixes of foods that are prepared for consumption, though they are typically spiced and salted. An MRE package contains five to eight different primary foods and cornstarch or dry biscuit mixture, which can be used as a foundation for a number of unique recipes. Additionally, there are a wide variety of other snack options, such as fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, chocolate, and other snacks including chili and other freeze dried cuisine. Often, these include organic MRE, Vegetarian MRE and Vegan MRE options too. For all those troops that invest a lot of time outdoors, MRE's are also accessible camping or survival kits. While a classic canned meal may be delicious, MRE's are a far cry from the bland, flavorless foods most households prepare during vacations. But the best MRE is the MRE that tastes the best and lasts the longest. A meal at a tent with an MRE can be full of robust dishes that are more palatable than the typical canned choices. If the MRE's are properly stored, they can last for years. In reality, some households have consumed their emergency nutriment from stored MRE's for over ten years. The foods are well-kept and the shelf life is excellent. There's no need to add hot sauce to them for flavor, though you can add it if you'd prefer. A soldier ration meal combat, as they're called, has a very long shelf life if properly stored. There are many measures that should be taken before putting an MRE on the container, as there are certain conditions that influence how long they will last. First, the MRE should be kept in a cool, dry place, like an unused storage center. It should also be covered to not attract rodents. Because of their storage conditions, MRE's are able to maintain nutrients that soldiers and civilians alike may need in order to endure for long intervals in harsh conditions. A typical MRE recipe may consist of hearty dishes that are high in calories and carbohydrates; however, the MRE does not include the high levels of fat and sodium that other canned products may provide. In fact, an MRE's carbohydrate content is near the total supplied in a bag of pork rinds, making them a superb alternative to beef jerky.

Introduction to Quality Nutritional Content

An MRE's nutritional content is based on percentages of protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, and other dietary components. When choosing foods to add to military meals, it's very important to base your decision on what you and your loved ones need, rather than what is served in the army. For example, if you're traveling to a place where there is no nutrition available, an MRE using a high-fat content may be the better option as it will sustain your needs for a couple of days. And special consideration may indicate that these include a powdered drink and accessory packet with spices in the complete meal. Another example is when the military has developed a new base and the supplies need to last for a period of time. In this circumstance, calorie and nutrient recommendations will be different depending on the status. For instance, a Marine Corps tent is not quite as likely to dry out as an office building, therefore a moisture-resistant item may be a better choice. Because of the nature of the MRE's, it's possible to keep these dishes inside a backpack. Most military operations use little stoves to prepare their meals. The civilian versions of these MREs, which come in either freeze-dried or non-freeze dried tastes, are frequently used in school dorms, schools, and military chapels where members make use of them as an extra method to survive through extended periods without meals.

MREs with heaters are perfect in teacher survival kits, and student emergency kits. They're the perfect compliment to lockdown emergency toilet kits.
