Great option for trips. I especially like to prepare it by mixing about 1.5 packages with hot water. The taste is similar to baby cereal, but it fills you up and gives you energy. If someone finds the taste too mild, you can add some nuts or raisins. I have been using these rations for over a year now and I truly recommend them.

Great value for money. As for the taste, it's subjective – for me, it's ok. The product is solidly packed and has a long shelf life. It will work perfectly for a trip or as part of a survival kit.
-
It's a good product, worth having on hand just in case. If someone has tried it, they know that it tastes fine with milk, but you can also eat it dry without any problem. They are tasty, especially considering their intended purpose. I always add a pack to my order on military supply sites—better to have them in reserve. I definitely recommend this kind of purchase.
-
These are definitely the best dry food rations I’ve ever had the chance to eat. They are very tasty – you can eat them on their own, drink them with water, but in my opinion, they taste best with milk. They don’t fall apart like other products of this type. The packaging is airtight, so water definitely won’t get in. You buy them, put them on the shelf, throw them in the car or backpack, and you can rest easy for 5 years.
-
The food is tasty and filling. It has a long shelf life. I don't see the point of writing a long review since there are already many opinions about these rations. I keep them for emergency situations. I recommend this product.
-
This is really a great product that will work well in extreme and exceptional circumstances. I'm not expecting an exceptional taste here—I just care about high caloric content. At this price, you won't find a better option.
-
Very nice rations, probably among my favorites. The taste is slightly sweet, kind of like sponge cake, although not intense. Good secure packaging, but once the main package is opened, everything is open at once.
-
The rations taste pretty good. Well packaged, excellent for the car or RV – nothing will happen to them. They are sweet and crumble easily, reminding of sponge cakes. Price is also a plus.
-
Seven Oceans 500 g is a good option for trips and emergency situations. They are filling, easy to prepare, although the taste is average. They provide adequate energy and convenience in tough conditions.
-
I bought Seven Oceans 500g after consulting with Militaria—I needed a substitute for the all-day SRG ration because that one was too big and heavy. I had only heard about this ration before, but now I am satisfied because it met my expectations for minimalism and functionality.
-
Great food ration, bought again. Well packed—it won't get soaked, soft, crumbles well, but at the same time melts in your mouth. I recommend keeping it at home, in your backpack, or in the car.
-
Really very good! We opened them out of curiosity and were pleasantly surprised. Useful in a food crisis while camping, and we're also planning to add them to our evacuation backpacks. They're sweet and crumble easily, but that's not a problem. The taste resembles sponge cake, and eating two at a time easily gets you through several hours.
-
They're not outstanding in taste, but still worth having; I keep them packed in my emergency backpack just in case. I recommend having at least one ration per day for everyone.
-
I bought the rations after reading many reviews. I think it’s worth having emergency supplies. Best if you don’t need them, but in current times, it’s better to be prepared. Shelf life is 5 years, so you can store them for a long time. Shipment as always very fast.
-
Great food rations. The taste isn't bad, lots of calories packed into a small mass and volume. Long shelf life. Worth keeping as a backup at home or taking on a camping or mountain trip. I recommend it.
