Sealed in individual 5 serving Mylar pouches that have been purged of oxygen to keep it fresh, you will get the taste and texture of freshly prepared food in as little as 20 minutes from start to finish. Easily stackable buckets fit just about anywhere. Great for Camping, RV Storage, or even as a convenient cost effective every day meal. Emergencies WILL happen
