Basic Information On The Halal MRE

By Lessie Kaufman


Man, to be able to live a life that is fulfilling as it is comfortable, has to comply with everything that is found on the famed hierarchy of needs. Among the most basic ones pertains to food. If he goes without it long enough, it may cause his death. This particular need replenishes the body of the energy and nutrients it used up just to be able to go through all the activities of daily living, as well as the few ones that were not included in his daily routine.

There are many ways in which such a very essential need is prepared. It can be fried, sauteed, baked, steamed, broiled, boiled, grilled, and the like. However, meal preparation costs time, money and effort. In this world where everything happens at lightning speed, it is of utmost importance that everything must be instant, too. This is why there are things like instant banking, same day deliveries, and of course, Halal MRE.

Meal, ready to eat or MRE is the food ration developed by the United States Military to respond to the basic need for food by its fighters. This comes in the form of lightweight packaging that contains a full meal that can satisfy a single person. This is often given out to military men assigned in remote areas where safe food and cooking provisions are not available, if not downright impossible.

Before the United States Army has come up with this pack, they used what they called the MCI. This is an abbreviation for MCI, or meal combat individual rations. Each package comes with canned products of different sizes, making it quite heavy to bring on the field all the time. Cans are also harder and more time consuming to open, which is why they are not being used anymore.

These new MRE packs do not contain any can. Instead, several packets and sachets are found inside the package. These include the main dish of several varieties. There is also a side dish included. This can come in the form of some rice, mashed potatoes, or corn.

Dessert is also enjoyed by soldiers as their packs often contain pound cakes and cookies. For the sweet tooth, the added candy items will be a well deserved treat. When the meal calls for it, sauce and seasoning packets can be found inside. Beverages of choice are also a part of the group, along with condiments and accessories for eating. Finally, no pack is without the FRH, or the flameless ration heater.

Despite people having thoughts about it, eating from food rations are not at all bad. They are even nutritious and can easily fulfill the needs of the body more effectively as compared to the many foods that others eat on a daily basis. Each pack is made with consultation from a nutritionist.

Aside from being nutritious, they are also effective and convenient. Each package allows one to be able to enjoy a full meal without many procedures that has to be undertaken. These ready to eat packs really serve their purpose, to provide people with nourishment in an environment that inhibits it.

Today, the MRE system is not only for the ones working in the military. Food business conglomerates have somehow gotten hold of the selfsame idea and capitalized on it. Soon enough, ready to eat meals dominated food aisles and went flying off the shelves as many consumers saw it as the solution to getting more time for other more important stuff.
