It's a misconception that Kosher MRE rations are only aimed the the armed services. Yes, the armed forces are indeed the main consumer of the meals, but, given their size, that's to be expected. What many people may not actually know is that people all around the globe, and from all religions, can actually eat these prepacked ready meals.
No one can deny that the food was created primarily with the Jewish faith in mind. They have their own special needs when it comes to food. And it's no secret that there are many Jewish people in the army that need this food. Therefore, it has to be transportable in a combat situation and has to pack enough calories and nutrition to see a person through the day. For reasons of convenience, they do not have to be heated up and no water needs to be added to them.
People sometimes do not understand how versatile they are. The army may well be the main user but many other people from all walks of life use them. Hikers, and campers love the fact that the rations are very light and easy to transport. If an emergency occurs and you're stranded, these portions can be the difference between life and death.
Though there is no need to cook the meals, they can actually be eaten how. Ingenious soldiers have often left their pouches out in the sun for thirty minutes, or placed the pouches on the engine of a running vehicle for ten. When removed and opened the food should be warm enough to eat and enjoy.
Jewish members of the armed forces are in a minority, so these meals do not exactly fly off the shelves. However, they can keep for up to a year. Each ration has an expiry date, so the troops get only edible rations, as they know exactly when they will expire.
There's no cutting corners when trying to produce food acceptable to the Jewish faith. The manufacturer has to adhere to strict standards of hygiene and preparation at all times. They must respect the Jewish faith by ensuring that ll kitchen equipment it contamination free. Many producers of MRE products will actually have specialist kitchens that only deal with kosher food, to ensure these standards are consistently met.
It isn't only meat that has to pass rigorous standards. Grains such as wheat, oats, spelt, rye and barley are supposed to be planted and harvested before Passover. These are the considered to be the five grains of old Israel. Things like corn and rice are actually not included because they don't make up the classic grains.
Kosher MRE portions usually are a complete meal. They often have a starter, main course, side dish and a dessert, as well as a drink. Kosher soups are often inside the pack and these must have no meat or dairy in them. Therefore, they are great for vegetarians and vegans.
