Military MRE Meals 2010

mre — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 17:24:34 +0000

The American service members give up a lot to fight for their country and the least the military can do is provide a decent meal to fill their bellies. This is why a lot of research has gone into providing the right amount of nutritional value in an MRE meal. The country owes it to its military forces to treat them right. Also, not only does a military MRE provide for adequate sustenance, efforts have been made to make them tasty too for a wide variety of preferences. Some MRE meals provide a taste of home with traditional American comfort foods while others go more exotic. And being aware of dietary restrictions from its service members, the military also offers vegetarian MREs as well as Kosher and Halal MREs. If you can find legitimate military MREs for sale, rest assured that the meals are continually improving both in terms of taste and nutrition.

The menu of military MRE is constantly changing as the U.S. government adapts to new menu ideas, soldiers’ tastes and advancements in nutritional components. Gone are the days of serviceable but bland food. While some old American favorites still remain, the menu has been expanded to include flavorings from other cultures. Accommodations have also been made to the vegetarian lifestyle with vegan entrees. With these improvements and variety, there is something for everybody with MRE meals ready to eat.

Military MREs are subject to stricter requirements than civilian MREs. This is because these food rations are for operational and field use. For highly active individuals, MREs must meet their nutritional needs. Each military MRE is one self contained individual meal package which has about 1200 calories. Each MRE case has twelve different meals so that provides the service members some variety which in turn encourages that proper nutritional needs are met. Beyond nutritional requirements, military MREs meals are regulated for proper packaging. This is to make sure that the MRE meal contents won’t be spoiled with variable temperatures from high altitude drops or scorching desert temperatures. Therefore, the shelf life of MREs varies according to their storage conditions. In ideal conditions, MREs are said to be good for as long as eleven years. In high heat temperatures hitting 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees the expected shelf life is nine months. For what is considered normal conditions, the shelf life is three and a half years at 81 degrees Fahrenheit or 27 degrees Celcius.

MREs have often been compared with freeze dried food as well since it is used by the government to provide for service members as well along with the disaster relief efforts. Freeze dried food pouches and cans do have the advantage of having longer shelf life than MRE meals. With the Mountain House freeze dried food, they purport to last up to 25 years in the right storage conditions. Freeze dried food is easy to consume as well. All you have to do is add water and it comes out tasting very much like the original menu. You can also find pretty extensive menus for Mountain House freeze dried food. As far as cost goes, freeze dried food costs less than an individual MRE meal.

Camping with MRE Meals and Freeze Dried Food

mre — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:32:49 +0000

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, you will appreciate the convenience of MRE meals and freeze dried food when you go camping, backpacking or hiking. Spending time outdoors is about enjoying the fresh air and nature. It loses some of the enjoyment factor if you are lugging around heavy cans of food along with pots and pans. At least, you can count yourself lucky that you don't have to hunt for food with archery equipment. Nowadays, MRE meals and freeze dried food pouches make a camper's life much easier.

Freeze dried camping meals and MRE packs are a complete individual meal designed to meet your nutritional needs after strenuous physical activity. Whether you prefer freeze dried food or MRE meals, there are advantages to both.

If you buy military MREs, you know that they have met the most stringent of tests in terms of field readiness. Military MREs also contain flameless ration heaters that just require water activation so you can enjoy a hot meal without the need of a camp fire. With civilian MREs, the FRH is optional on some packages and they are generally more expensive too averaging seven to eight dollars per meal. Camping freeze dried food pouches on the other hand average four to five dollars a meal. Obviously, in both instances if you buy in bulk MRE cases or freeze dried food cans, this will reduce the overall cost. Another advantage for freeze dried food is that it weighs less than MREs.

There has also been some debate on which tastes better, freeze dried food or MRE meals ready to eat. Obviously, this is up to personal tastes – literally. The process of freeze drying food does preserve the taste very well and rehydrating it with water makes it a hearty meal. And while there have been jokes at the expense of MRE meals with respect to taste, both the military version and the civilian version are always making new menus to style to accommodate their clients. This also includes providing vegetarian meals and Kosher/Halal MRE meals.

There are many positives to freeze dried food for camping or MRE camping meals. In both instances, you’re getting a convenient ready to eat meal. Moreover, there are also other advantages such as keeping these food rations in stock for emergency food supplies. Freeze dried food has a greater shelf life than MREs but if you’re going camping, hiking or backpacking often, you’ll undoubtedly need to restock no matter what camping food you pick.

Military MRE or Civilian MRE Meals Ready to Eat?

mre — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 00:58:27 +0000

When Hurricane Katrina hit, the prices of MRE meals skyrocketed because the food supply chain just wasn’t getting to those in need. People took matters into their own hands by being proactive and stock piled military MREs in case of emergencies. Nowadays, more manufacturers offer commercial MREs or civilian meals ready to eat. It is understandable that people might still want military grade food rations as the thinking is, if it is good enough for the army, it is good enough for me. However, studying the packages, you will find that there is actually very little few differences between civilian MREs and military MREs. In some instances, you might be getting better quality food with civilian MREs.

U.S. military MREs are actually not supposed to be sold for commercial purposes. However, this doesn’t stop sales of cases of MRE on eBay. If you have no problem with buying military MRE, things you want to look out for are the packing and inspection date and the menu offered. You also have to be aware that since this sale is prohibited by the U.S. government, you’ll have little recourse in legal actions should you find something wrong with your MRE. In other words, buyer beware. Since the military MRE comes to you second hand, you also do not have any idea how it was stored and what temperature conditions it was subjected to. On the other hand, if you do get your hands on a case of genuine military MRE, it is a bigger meal than the civilian version and there’s more variety in the case as well. Military MREs are also less expensive than civilian MREs.

The manufacturers of civilian meals ready to eat are listening to the public demands for more variety in the menus. Each year, a greater selection emerges. There are five main brands of civilian food rations and they include: Ameriqual aPack, Sopakco Sure-Pak 12, Wornick Eversafe, Menu C, MREStar. The packaging and contents of these companies are quite similar to the military version as the first three companies listed actually produce MREs for the military. If you are buying civilian MREs, the chances are it won’t be left in the scorching desert sun and will be “fresher” when you get it. You can then properly store it for your own emergency preparation without worries if it will go bad.

Whichever MRE meals you choose, be it military or civilian, know that you are doing the right thing in being prepared for any disaster.

MRE Meals and Freeze Dried Food Packs

Unless you are a psychic, no one knows when a disaster is going to strike. If one does occur, will you be prepared to provide for your family? It is not something that most of us think about but we must if that is anything the events of Hurricane Katrina have taught us. Hind sight is twenty/twenty but if we had to do it all again, we would most certainly have prepared with emergency kits and emergency food better.

Most survival experts say that in case of an emergency, you should have a kit prepared to provide you with food and shelter for the first 72 hours. That is how long you are expected to hold out for until help arrives. Looking around your house, if you were to be stuck in there without clean food or water, can you make it? That is why you should have a clean source of drinking water available and emergency ration packs such as MRE meals ready to eat stocked up.

For drinking water, that is easy enough to get as you can buy gallons of pure bottled water. For survival food supplies, there are many options such as canned food, freeze dried food or MRE meals. All are excellent options in an emergency and it just depends on your preference of taste, storage and the convenience factor.

Obviously for canned foods, you will need to know where to find your can opener in an emergency. Will you need to reheat it or can you eat it cold? For freeze dried food, they can also come in cans or vacuum sealed bags for individual meal packs. All you need to do is pour water and it tastes just like the original recipe. For MRE meals, they also come in individual ration packs and if the pack calls for it, a flameless ration heater to eat up the entrée. Regardless of what decision you make on emergency food supplies, these are also very good options for hiking, camping and backpacking for their convenience, portability, and being lightweight. Also, let’s face it, sometimes it is also fun to eat out of your individual meal pack and explore the different menus. Some of these are quite delicious to eat and families have even incorporated them into their regular meal plans.

While it is all fun and games to taste test the emergency rations, there comes a time when you have to decide what you should have in an emergency situation. Do yourself a favor and be prepared for a crisis situation by having a disaster kit stocked in your house with MRE meals and freeze dried food cans and pouches available.

MRE Meals for Disaster Preparation

mre — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:59:59 +0000

When it comes to emergency ration and supplies meted out by the government, it is sad to say that we should not expect the government to come through for us when we need them. It is best to have our own MRE meals (meals ready to eat) and water on hand when we prepare for disasters. The best case scenario is that we aid the government in their disaster recovery process by being self reliant and the worse case scenario being that if the government can’t get to us in time, we save our own lives.

Most people are woefully ignorant in gathering emergency supplies they need beyond having a first aid kit in their house. When you are stuck in your house for days on end, make sure you have at least enough food and water available for each member of your household in the first 72 hours. You might think that is not a big deal since you probably have enough food to last you for 3 days but consider that in a power outage, the food can go bad. How will you cook the food? In a flood, the food can also spoil if it is kept in the basement.

This is why MRE meals ready to eat are ideal to have as emergency food ration packs since they were originally designed for the military. After Hurricane Katrina, people realized how important it is to stock up on emergency meals that are self contained and ready to eat.

Of course, it doesn’t need to be an emergency for you to enjoy a MRE. Some people actually like the convenience of these packages when they have nothing else available in the house. They are also great to take along as camping meals, backpacking food, or mountain house food when you are out in the wilderness. Manufacturers now are clueing in on the demand of civilian MREs for such occasions. Taste wise, meals ready to eat are quite palatable. New menus are out every year and each MRE is really a full meal that generally contains the following items: main course, side dish, dessert, cracker or bread along with the spread, powdered mix for drink, utensils, flameless ration heater and other eating accessories.

It really is a wise decision to buy MRE packs and keep a few cases on hand. The uses for these are multiple as stated but it all comes down to providing sustenance in a time of need and saving lives.
