Military MRE Menu 2009

mre — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:28:08 +0000

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

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.

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.
