Beware of MREs long term.
In my Prepper research I discovered that Military MREs are not recommended for longer than 3 days
as they will block up your gut. I don't know about self made ones.
Suggestion: Combine with cooked rice, regular noodles or other canned foods to maintain the plumbing.
I assume the problem stems from freeze dried foods.
Have you freeze dried any raw eggs and powdered them, I’m thinking about trying it next week.For me, DIY MRE's are homemade meals that have been freezed dried and portioned out onto trays, then vacuum wrapped to store on the shelves.. You can also store them in mylar bags.
I’ve only dehydrated to make powdered eggs. Let us know how they turn out. I’m sure they will do great.Have you freeze dried any raw eggs and powdered them, I’m thinking about trying it next week.
NO SH*T (pun definitely intended ). They are high in calories and added nutrients which is great to maintain energy levels short term, but severely lacking in natural nutrition and fiber which are essential to digestion and long term health (gut health and a variety of natural phytonutrients help to promote overall health and well-being). Freeze dried foods may or may not suffer with the same issues, depending on what they are. If they are freeze dried whole foods (veggies, fruits, whole grains, etc.) then you may be okay, though some nutrients will be destroyed in the preservation process. But a lot of freeze-dried foods readily available do lack fiber and nutrients (other than perhaps some added vitamins) so they will likely lead to the same problems.Beware of MREs long term.
