Frequently Asked Questions

Who are these products for?

In a word, EVERYONE. The Field Fuel® line of MREs (meals-ready-to-eat) has been developed as a high-quality, nutrient-energy-dense FUEL to support those who have the toughest jobs on the planet, whether you’re a warrior, a warrior athlete, or a warrior mom! Best of all, it’s simply a great meal for you and your family. Whether you're refueling after a grueling workout, powering up during a backcountry adventure, or seeking a delicious, quick, and easy dinner option at home with restaurant-quality food – our products will feed your active lifestyle – anywhere life may take you.

How do I prepare these products?

Our meals are fully cooked and ready to enjoy directly from the package at ambient temperature, or they can be heated by placing the pouch in boiling water or emptying and warming the contents in a pan. Please DO NOT microwave the pouch. Our High-Performance Energy Blends are ready to consume with no prep, making them the perfect blast of nutritious energy. DO NOT consume if seal is broken or package is damaged or swollen.

What do you mean by “clean ingredients”?

Our list of “what’s never included” in our products is nearly as long, as what is in them. Whether sourcing ethically harvested 100% lifetime grazed-prairie, grass-fed, regenerative bison, organic A2/A2 dairy from 100% grass-fed/finished regenerative cows, regenerative organic certified 100% pasture raised chickens, wild-caught salmon from a small sustainable fishery in Alaska, and beyond organic vegetables and spices, we draw on the richness of our world and curate whole food nutrition you won't find elsewhere. Please see our Nutrition page to learn more.

How long do MREs last?

The shelf life of our non perishable food all depends on what temperature they are stored at. Based on NATICK’s study of Meals Ready-to-Eat, which uses packaging and production technologies like that of Essential Provisions, our food can potentially last up to 5 years depending on storage temperature.

What sets Essential Provisions MREs apart from other MREs?

Each healthy MRE that we sell is crafted to enrich anyone that needs nutrient-dense fuel - mentally and physically. If you need food that can potentially boost your immunity, preserve your muscle mass, reduce inflammation, increase your longevity and health span, and taste good (spoiler alert - you do), then you need Essential Provisions.
