READYWISE Emergency Food Survival Supply Fruit Bucket 120 Servings

The bucket was easy to open and easy to close. It was clean inside and everything was well packed. I tried the chicken pot pie flavored mashed potatoes just to see if I would like the taste. I only cooked half a package and I used a microwave hack to cook it, so keep that in mind. That being said, the taste was very good. It tasted like chicken and mashed potatoes. The vegetables were slightly crunchy in a good way. The texture of the mashed potatoes was acceptable. Especially since I did not use the prescribed cooking method of boiling it in water. I mixed one half of the package with three cups of water in a pampered chef microwave pot, stirred well, and put it in the microwave for 2 minutes on high, stirred and cooked for another 30 seconds. Seconds. I left it. Sit for 15 minutes in the pampered chef pot. The whole experience was good and satisfying. I'm going to try their leftovers reheated and see how that goes lol I will definitely purchase some of the other products and try them as well. Even if you just want to eat cheap for a month, I feel like this is a good idea and worth the money.

Excellent product

All there product are always if great value. Great to have on hand when you need.

I recently purchased the ReadyWise Freeze-Dried Meal Bucket and have been thoroughly impressed with the variety and convenience it offers. As someone who faces challenges with food preparation due to executive dysfunction, this bucket has been a game-changer for ensuring I have nourishing meals without the stress of cooking. The selection of meals included in the bucket is impressive and covers a wide range of flavors and options. From the savory Southwest Beans and Rice to the comforting Tomato and Basil Soup, each meal has provided a delicious and satisfying experience. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of including both breakfast and main meal choices, making it versatile for any time of day. One standout feature is the ease of preparation. Rehydrating the meals has been a breeze, requiring only water and a short waiting time. This convenience has been a lifesaver for most, if not all of my meals. I don't have a food preparation service near my home, so this was the next best thing. In addition, it has helped me portion control and help with my IBS, because it replaced my diet of frozen pizzas and various other "fast" junk food. Overall, I have no problem with the purchase. The only meal I don't prefer is the Tomato and Basil. I complemented this bucket with a bucket of fruit to help balance the nutrient value. The freeze-dried fruit blends have been a delightful addition to my meals. The burst of natural flavors and the nutritional benefits they provide have made each meal more enjoyable and well-rounded. While convenience is paramount for me, I've also been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals. The textures and flavors have exceeded my expectations for freeze-dried food, and I haven't encountered any unpleasant aftertastes or artificial flavors. The ReadyWise Freeze-Dried Meal Bucket has become an essential part of my meal planning, whether for quick on-the-go options or for emergencies. The peace of mind it provides is invaluable, knowing that I have a variety of wholesome meals at my fingertips. In summary, I highly recommend the ReadyWise Freeze-Dried Meal Bucket to anyone seeking a convenient, flavorful, and balanced meal solution. It's a fantastic way to ensure you're well-prepared for various situations, and it's a game-changer for individuals like me who face challenges with food preparation. Disclaimer: As a reviewer, my experience is specific to my personal needs and preferences. However, I believe the quality and convenience of this product would be valuable for anyone looking for hassle-free meal options.

I haven't tried any just yet, but I am very impressed by the amount of packages inside, and each bag is 6 full servings. Very surprised and pleased with this purchase.

Love it

Not individual servings….

I am a vegetarian for ethical reasons. I am encouraged these ‘emergency’ food packs are getting more and more vegetarian. Since I know most of these were packaged likely decades ago I think in less than ten years I will be able to purchase ALL vegetarian selections that were NOT processed on equipment also used for fish or shellfish, if so it would equipment FORMERLY used to process fish or shellfish that is now used exclusively for vegetarian meals. There are several vegetarian selections in this box. SOME OF THOSE HOWEVER WERE PROCESSED ON EQUIPMENT USED FOR FISH OR SHELFISH so as an ethical vegetarian that is VERY difficult, though I am glad they have disclosed this, it would be worse if they lied. I imagine they cleaned it all sparkling and it had no fish or shellfish residue. I will say the vegetarian selections are gourmet in the sense that they are TASTE ALIKES of MEAT meals. The loaded baked potato casserole tasted like potatoes I had eaten at Morton’s (the expensive Chicago based steakhouse,) restaurant before I was a vegetarian. I also had that taste type of potatoes many years ago in a hospital cafeteria before I was a vegetarian. Though Morton’s steakhouse is fancy, many of the food tastes there are old style food tastes and many modern types might not consider that a gourmet taste. These packets are that old style gourmet taste and some are heavily salted. The directions say to add 4 cups of water. NOTE THE DIRECTIONS ARE INCORRECT!!!! You must only use 1 and ½ cups of water per packet or you will get soup!! I recommend Gourmia Cakemakers for making all sorts of things including the vegetarian packets in these. The incredibly easy directions I have figured out to use with a Gourmia Cakemaker to prepare these packets are as follows. Place packet in Gourmia pan. Add 1 ½ cups of water. Close lid turn Gourmia and place on Stir Fry for 30 minutes. Voila, a meal, with little effort and little cleanup. I am recovering from a back injury and use these packets in a pinch. For example when it is difficult for me to stand and prepare a meal due to pain on standing, even boxed mac and cheese is more difficult than this if my back happens to be quite sore at the end of a long day. These packets are great for situations like that and prevent pain. I always recommend freeze dried food be purchased in large quantities from a young age if possible and stored away for retirement, or in case of injury, to augment meals. Just think when you are 100 years old whether you had a back injury or not, easy, heat up packet food seems a good idea. EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT YET VEGETARIAN I RECOMMEND BUYING VEGETARIAN FREEZE DRIED MEALS AND STORING THEM AS YOU WILL LIKELY BECOME A VEGETARIAN FOR ETHICAL REASONS AS YOU MATURE.

Great stuff!!

Received this a few days ago and thought i would test one, to say it freeze dried food with shelf life of 25 years its not half bad. I would recommend testing each one as i tried the chilli macaroni with the guided 4 cups of water and it was like runny soup so take the cooking requirements with a pinch of salt

So great to have variety to eat if food becomes hard to buy. And it will last as long as I need to store it.

Fantastico prodotto!!!!
