About Meal ready to eat
A Meal Ready to Eat (MRE) is a self-contained, pre-packaged meal originally designed for military use but also popular among campers, hikers, and emergency preparedness enthusiasts. Each MRE typically includes an entrée, side dish, dessert, crackers or bread with spreads, a powdered beverage, and accessories like utensils and condiments. The cuisine varies widely, covering options like pasta, stews, rice dishes, and international-inspired flavors. MREs are rich in calories, providing around 1,200-1,500 calories per package, making them ideal for physically demanding activities. However, they are often high in sodium and preservatives to ensure a long shelf life, sometimes exceeding 5 years. While they are convenient and nutrient-dense for short-term use, their high salt and low fresh content make them less suitable for regular consumption. Overall, MREs serve as a practical and calorie-packed solution for situations requiring portable, non-perishable meals.
