A very good emergency food ration for survival, trekking, and as a crisis backup. The bars are filling, lightweight, and have a long shelf life, so they work great in a backpack or car. The taste is simple and slightly sweet, but for survival food, it's really good. Big plus for the compact, airtight packaging and high caloric value. You can eat them dry or with water, so they work in various conditions.

The taste is average, a bit sweet, slightly bland, but it's not about the taste. It's supposed to give you strength and energy in an SHTF situation. A must-have for the car, for an emergency backpack, even at home just in case. And most importantly – you can throw them anywhere you want and forget about them – for many years, even after the warranty, nothing will happen to them. I will definitely buy them again.

I am looking for food rations with a good nutritional value ratio. They are very useful as an emergency meal, they don't have to be very tasty, they are supposed to support the body when there is no other food.
-
In short: the price is very good, the taste is quite average. Maybe someone will like them, but it's hard to eat more than one. They're sweetish, bland, dry. Like a crumble stuck together with some kind of fat. Aside from the taste and the fact they crumble just by looking at them, everything else is a plus. Packed hermetically in foil, you can store them in humidity, heat, cold, nothing will happen, unlike other rations. Besides that, they have a high energy value and, despite the taste, they really give you energy.
-
Generally, you buy this product not for the taste, but for - big words - saving your life. That's why the taste is just so-so :D :D . It's a bit like sweet sawdust, a bit like tasteless halva. If you believe the label—one package is a full daily portion for the average person. The advantages—it's light, handy, and easy to pack.

Hello. For me, apart from the confirmed compliance with the description, it is that in my case I really liked the taste. Very crispy, sweet, and nutritious. I recommend it.

Very good emergency ration – compact, high in calories, and tightly packed. Ideal for survival, expeditions, and a crisis kit. It has a long shelf life and provides about 2400–2500 kcal in one package, so it works great as an energy reserve in emergency situations.
-
Functional, compact, and during survival, it's suitable for eating in various ways. However, as always, weight is important, so it's worth considering how you will be moving.

I bought these briquettes to try them out, as I was curious whether they would be useful in emergencies such as war, disasters, or lack of electricity. I can confidently say that they are really handy. They taste like shortbread cookies and are quite good—especially with tea or water. My son and I ate them quickly :) I also plan to try the NRG-5 version, but I already know that this product will be perfect in an emergency kit as a bread substitute.

Always in my backpack along with Piast crackers. You can survive on them while traveling, they're tasty and make you feel like a prepper. You don't get that with candy bars. The taste is very good.
-
I bought it to have an emergency iron ration, just in case you can take it in the car, it is not afraid of high temperatures or cold. Someday I will try it when the date gets closer; I received it with an expiration date of 09.03.2031, so that's great. I recommend the store and the ration.

The product is functional and matches the description. It is easy to store and transport, and works great as emergency food. It has a long shelf life and is small in size. Personally, I like to eat it with milk. It works well both for occasional use and during outdoor activities.

Compact and nutritious, it looks and tastes like a sugar bun. The ration is packed in thick foil that insulates against external factors. It is divided into 9 bars wrapped in paper, and each bar is further divided into two separate cubes.
-
It works very well as emergency food in the field. Long-lasting, good taste. The consistency is like crumbly halva with a vanilla-flour flavor. It has saved me more than once when, instead of food, it was the same can for a week. A nice emergency filler, I recommend having one with you.
