Basic Information On The Halal MRE

By Lessie Kaufman


Food is one of the basic needs of man. It is a very important provision for survival. From food, one derives the needed nutrients and energy that a body needs to keep going. It serves as fuel for the human physique, such as gasoline is needed to make vehicles run. Without it, people will not be able to function as well as he is expected to.

Food comes in many varied forms that required different preparations for them to be edible. One can have so many options when it comes to meals. You can have it fried, boiled, sauteed, grilled, baked, broiled, steamed, whatever goes as long as it suits your choosy palate. Food served this way all come out delicious, but they take up too much time and requires specific tools for them to be cooked. Because of this, Halal MRE is created to somehow make up for the lack of time and utensils without sacrificing the taste and the nutrients that should come with every meal.

MRE actually stands for meal, ready to eat. Such syntax is derived from the standard military way of saying things. This is a self contained field ration meant to provide the food needs of every fighter assigned in the field. The food comes in lightweight packaging meant for individual consumption and is sent out to areas where organized food facilities are not easily available.

Previously, MCIs were used for the selfsame purpose. These are packs containing cans of various sizes, all containing food items that serve to provide for the needed nourishment that one should have in order to work well. Since cans can add to the weight of the packs that each man has to carry, they were inevitably replaced with another pack of a better design.

In lieu to the MCI, the MRE does not contain any can inside. Instead, each pack contains differently measured sachets that contain different stuff. The biggest one is often the main course or the entree. One can choose which dish he likes, such as spaghetti or beef stew. There are also vegetarian options for the diet conscious. Mashed potatoes, corn, and rice come in the form of side dishes. Spreads such as peanut butter and jelly are available to make the bread packs more appetizing.

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.

Even though such readily eaten are often seen as something bad, they actually are not. In fact, each individual package is made with the help of nutritionists to make sure that they provide adequate nutrition though they are not prepared the conventional way. Though they will never top the home cooked goodness that people love, at least they can do similar functions.

They are also convenient as they are nutritious. Individual packages provide one with a full course provision minus all the unnecessary hassle. They keep you full without requiring too much effort for preparation.

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.
