Vegetarian Indian Food MRE Entrees, Made for the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay:

We have compiled comments on this Indian food from Bryan, Janet, Scott, Jessica, and one of our customers – Kinton.
All in all, the reviews are quite good! We have them listed in the order most of us liked them, starting with the most liked. Give them a try!

Saag Chole (2006 production).  To Die for! Extra High rating!
        Tender spinach and garbanzo beans in a creamy and  pungent sauce. Brilliant spices and fenugreek leaves create the unique and exotic aroma.
        This is the hands down winner.
        Bryan says, “Just the right amount of zip.”
        Janet says, “Great aftertaste and unique flavor. This tastes much better than it looks.”
        Kinton says, “…was very surprised - it was quite tasty!”
        Scott says, “Spicy chili like texture but with creamy spinach.”
Canna dal Masala (2006 production). To Die for! Extra High rating!
        Creamy yellow lentils simmered with green bell peppers, carrots, onions, and tomatoes. Seasoned to perfection with mustard and spices.
        This is the runner up.
        Janet says, “Like Indian chili. Rib-sticking good!”
        Kinton says, “Wow, was that good! … had a nice yellow curry in it.”
        Scott says, “Love the lentils.”
Dinghri Mutter (2006 production).  YUM, YUM, YUM!  High rating!
        Garden-fresh peas and delicate mushrooms combine with ginger and garlic in a succulent tomato sauce. A touch of cumin and cilantro.
        Kinton says, “Not too bad - lots of potatoes and vegetables in this one.”
        Janet says, “Has a pleasant aftertaste.”
        Scott says, “Lots of peas, and the sauce is like chili.”
Alu Chole (2006 production).
        A satisfying mix of potatoes, tasty garbanzo beans, onions, ripe tomatoes, and ginger.
        Janet says, “It grows on you with each taste. Satisfying chunks of potato and mild sauce.”
        Kinton says, “This one was interesting. I still can't figure out what the flavor in there was.”
        Jessica the Vegan says, “I like the garlic. Lots of chic peas. Good texture.”
Vegetable Jalfrazi (2006 production).
        Green bell peppers, carrots, green beans, and tomatoes are sauteed with onions, spices, and a melange of exotic herbs.
        Jessica the Vegan says, “This is the best – like all the others combined.”
        Kinton says, “This one seemed to be a combination of the curried vegetables and the alu chole.”
        Janet says, “Strong pungent flavor, good!”
        Scott says, “Thick and chunky in red curry like sauce.”
Vegetable Curry (2006 production).
        Scott says, “Very mild. Kind of like minestrone soup in texture, with curry flavor.”
        Kinton says, “It was OK but seemed to be more of an Americanized-Indian entree than a true Indian entree.”
        Bryan says, “Needs more zip. Expected stronger spices. OK though.”

..MRE Heaters and Hot Beverage Bags

MRE Chemical Heaters

• You place your MRE entree (or anything else that is water tight and needs to be heated) into the bag, and pour water into the bag until the water reaches a mark on the bag.
• Then hold the heater level so the chemicals soak up the water.
• Prop the bag and MRE (or other items) up using a rock, and the heat is on!
• After 10-15 minutes, the contents are piping hot!

Old Style MRE Heater Dozen Pack (1995 production date).  Price $3.00/dozen
       Typical activation time is 2 minutes.

We recommend the Old style as replacements for our Food and Beverage Heating Kit on this same page, as they take a few minutes to activate and give extra time to place items to be heated in the kit.

Hot Beverage Bag (for use with MRE heaters)

Now, make hot coffee with your MRE heaters!

These 4.5" x 9" PET / Poly side weld, 3 mil bags are not your normal zipper lock style bag.
These are made to military specifications and have unique features including resistance to the high temperature MRE heaters develop!
They are designed to heat water for beverages but have many, many other uses!

It gets better, read on!

When using the bag for beverages, you just fill the bag with the desired amount of water using the printed ounce marks, put the desired mix in (like instant coffee) seal it, place it inside the heater bag and activate the heater. After six minutes it's ready and really hot!  These bags also have measuring marks for 6 oz, 8 oz, and 12 oz. with instructions.

Just read the instructions for the beverage you want to make, and determine how much water to use and fill the bag to the mark.

Take these hot examples of cool uses for MRE Hot Beverage Bags!

A whole can (15 oz) of pork and beans fit in these special bags. Although the combined package won't fit inside the MRE heater, it can be placed ON TOP of the MRE heater in our new insulated bag (available separately or in kit form) and lets the product spread across the surface of the heater for maximum heat transfer.

How about things that don't fit inside MRE heaters like Hot Dogs and Buns?

We have discovered many other uses for these high temperature bags and are offering an emergency food and beverage heating kit as well. See more details below.

Buy more and save!

• 12 pack: $0.22 each
• 50 pack: $0.18 each
• 100 pack: $0.14 each

The Hot Beverage Bags are intended to hold water for use in MRE beverages like coffee, but have many other uses. Use your imagination!
The Hot Beverage Bags do not produce heat and only provide a way to contain items.
Be sure to order MRE heaters below! The Old style heaters take only two minutes to activate, the new ones take 30 seconds. They both get as hot over time.
We recommend the Old style heaters since they take a bit longer to activate and give you more time to situate items.

Emergency Food and Beverage Heating Tote Kit

Includes MRE Flameless Ration Heaters (FRH) and MRE Hot Beverage bags as well!

This kit can be used to heat odd shaped items like cans of food, or anything else that is packaged such that it can't fit inside an MRE heater.

This kit includes:

• An insulated tote bag
• 24 MRE heaters (the heat source)
• 24 unique high-temperature MRE hot beverage zip lock style bags

How hot can this get?

No, that's not smoke, that's steam from just two MRE heaters!

Got more stuff to heat?

Whenever possible, transfer odd shaped items (like canned goods) into our Hot Beverage Bags. A normal can of food won't fit inside the MRE heater. If a can of food is just placed on top of a heater, it will not provide enough surface area in direct contact to be effectively heated by an MRE heater. But if the food is transferred into a Hot Beverage Bag, and then placed on top of a heater, it gets really hot.
Our new insulated bag can hold it all! Just layer the items between MRE heaters.
Follow these easy steps:

1. Determine how many beverage bags you will need.
2. Transfer odd shaped items into beverage bags.
3. For heating coffee or other beverages, place the correct amount of water in the bag. You can either add the beverage now, or after the water is hot.
4. Determine how many heaters will be needed. Figure on using one heater for each 8-10 ounces of soup, hot dogs, or other canned goods. Do not use more than three heaters total at a time.
5. Next, determine how you will be packing the heaters and items into the insulated bag. Layer the items. Start with a heater, food, another heater, more food, etc.
6. The final step is to activate the heaters and start packing items into the bag. Using older style MRE heaters is ideal since they take about 2 minutes to activate, giving you time to place items in the tote bag.
7. Zipper the tote closed. Steam will escape from the seams around the zipper.
8. Wait about 10-12 minutes.

From cold items to a hot meal in 10-12 minutes!

Please note: Your bag may be blue or white due to availability.

Notes about MRE shelf life:

The manufacturer uses an estimated shelf life figure of "3 to 5 years, plus or minus" for its MRE-type pouched food products. Actual shelf life may vary from this estimate. A key factor effecting actual shelf life is the temperature of the storage environment. Storage at temperatures higher than 85°F may shorten the shelf life of MRE-type food products. On the other hand, lowering the storage temperature will help extend the products' shelf life. This effect is common to most processed food products.

The shelf life figures given in the table for MREs are based on taste test studies conducted by the U.S. Army's NATIC Research Laboratories. This study was conducted by NATIC without participation of the MRE manufacturers. As such, the manufacturer cannot verify the test procedures used by the NATIC labs, nor do they adopt these shelf life figures as a guarantee of any sort. The data is useful, though, as a general indication of the effects of storage temperatures on the shelf life of MRE-type food products.
