GREAT PRODUCT AND TASTY FOR ME

I tried one to see how it was and I would say not bad. I'm not one of those picky eaters either so it was great for me. I'm also not a long writer so I would say buy it.

Great Backup

I have over a years-worth of long-term food storage on hand, mostly Wise brand. A few years back I owned a military surplus store and sold Wise and other brands too. I am familiar with the quality and taste of Wise and the others; not all is created equal. Long-term food storage should not be counted on as your only source of nutrition, it should be considered a supplement, but can be a primary source there is no other source. Many reviewers complain about the cost per serving; what is your life of the life of your loved ones worth. Other complain about the size of the serving; again, you have to remember this food should not be considered as your primary, but as a supplement. If you are considering buying long-term food storage, look at the big picture of your expected situation and plan accordingly. Nothing says you can't have short term food as well, just remember to rotate it out and replace it with new.
