Product Overview
A reserve of food is easier to manage when it comes in separate portions rather than one large serving. The Datrex Blue 3600 Calorie Emergency Food Ration offered by Rothco contains 18 individually wrapped, coconut-flavored bars. Each bar supplies 200 calories, letting you keep track of how much food you have used and how much remains.
These bars are ready to eat directly from their wrappers, so there is no cooking or preparation step between opening a portion and eating it. That makes them useful for an emergency kit or survival pack, where access to normal meal preparation may be limited. They can also serve as backup food on a camping trip, without adding another meal that needs to be prepared.
Separate portions for easier planning
Individual wrapping lets you take out one bar while leaving the other portions wrapped. You can divide the pack among several people, set aside portions for later, or plan your food supply using the clearly stated calorie count. The 3,600-calorie total applies to the entire pack; how long it lasts depends on how many people are using it and their food needs.
The coconut-flavored bars use all-natural ingredients, including wheat flour, cane sugar, water, and coconut. When choosing food for a shared emergency kit, keep those ingredients in mind alongside the preferences and dietary needs of the people who will use it.
