I'll be honest and give my specific opinion. I did not like this diet. It tastes like chalk and nothing more. As I said earlier, before this I bought 'Seven Oceans' and it was much tastier and much cheaper. It went perfectly with hot tea or coffee. And taste-wise, it was like shortbread biscuits. This is purely my own opinion. Now I know that 'Seven Oceans' is great for an emergency backpack.

I have tried several different products and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It's hard to say definitively which is the best, as taste is a matter of personal preference. Objectively — they have high calorie content and a long shelf life. During several trips, they served as my basic food (they are lightweight, take up little space, provide lots of calories, and do not spoil) and they fulfilled this role well. I can't imagine eating them for more than a week, but as food for exceptional situations, they are very suitable. I can't say whether I prefer the green or brown version — I haven't had the chance to compare them directly, and in my opinion, their taste is almost the same.

If you pinch your nose and drink it with milk or water, then you can easily eat it and it won't be unpleasant. Otherwise, the taste may not suit everyone. The cubes crumble easily in your hand, but that's because it's a dry powder whose moisture has been removed to extend the product's shelf life.

The cubes break very easily, they are packed in foil, and the taste leaves something to be desired, but in emergency situations this doesn't matter much. A big plus is the very long shelf life – up to 20 years.

It has a long shelf life, and in taste it resembles ground cardboard – not the best, but I didn't buy it for enjoyment, just as emergency food. It does its job.

An excellent and very nutritious ration with high energy value. Very favourable value for money in terms of nutritional content. An additional advantage is an exceptionally long shelf life. I recommend it to everyone.

A very good solution in a time of crisis. In uncertain times, it’s good to have an iron food stock. The price matches the caloric value and durability of the product.

The ration is exceptionally dry, but that's a feature of this food designed to last up to 20 years. You buy it not for taste, but for power outages or other extraordinary situations.

It's an emergency ration, bought just in case. Of course, you have to try it to make sure you could eat it if necessary. The taste is decent, although very dry, so it's better to drink water or something warm along with it. Useful as a reserve.

The taste doesn't impress, but it's not for everyday eating – rather for exceptional, demanding situations. It quickly satisfies hunger and the huge advantage is the very long shelf life.

Long shelf life, tastes like cardboard – not great, but I bought the ration as an emergency reserve, not for flavour. The product fulfils its purpose.

A typical ration – contains what is most necessary. The texture and taste are average, but the most important thing is the very long storage life.

The ration is fine, I took it on a trip – it was OK. Filling, easy to prepare. The taste is quite sweet and very dry, but after cooking in milk it's interesting. In a crisis, it's a great option. I recommend it.

Great solution for emergency situations. Very long shelf life, high energy value, and easy to store and transport. So far, I'm rating it without tasting – but apparently it's better than the competition. Nutritional ingredients are also a plus.

The biggest advantage is the very long shelf life. Average taste, but that's not the most important thing. Ideal to keep in the pantry just in case – I have a few packs for disasters or other crises.
