I bought this product as a backup just in case – it will be perfect for the car, as it is unaffected by high or low temperatures. I will try it when the expiration date is approaching. I received a ration with an expiration date of 09.03.2031, so it's good for a very long time. I can definitely recommend the store and product.

Practical product and as described. Easy to store and transport, ideal as an emergency ration. Good shelf life and compact format. Personally, I prefer to consume it with milk. It serves its purpose well for occasional use or in outdoor situations.
-
The product is small, filling, and both its appearance and taste resemble a sweet bun. It was securely protected with a thick foil that shields it from external factors. Inside, there are 9 bars, each wrapped in paper, and each bar is further divided into two pieces.
-
It works great as backup food in the field. It has a long shelf life and a pleasant taste. The texture is reminiscent of crumbly halva, somewhat like vanilla flour. It has already saved me more than once when I had only this to eat for a week. It fills you up well; I recommend having it on hand.
-
In my opinion, the price of the product is absolutely adequate. The taste is acceptable and shouldn’t raise any major concerns. The packaging was securely protected.
-
The product has a good taste, and the price is adequate. The quality is always consistent, you can buy it without worries. It has a long shelf life, and the portioning into parts makes storage easier.

Seven Oceans 500 g is a practical, high-energy food ration that works great as an emergency food supply. It is perfect for survival situations, long expeditions, as well as for EDC and tactical kits. The carefully packaged portions are easy to transport and allow for a quick boost of energy in tough, demanding conditions.
-
The food is good and nutritious. It has a long shelf life. There’s no need to elaborate because everything about these rations has already been said. I keep them for emergencies. I recommend them.
-
The price-to-quality ratio is very good, the taste is also a plus, and the product is durable. I bought it as a snack just in case, and it works great in this role. It's also compact. I recommend it.
-
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.
