The Gourmet Reserves® product line was developed in 1989 to address the needs for emergency preparedness. Gourmet Reserves is suited to meet the needs of individuals or organizations that desire to be self-sufficient during a situation where normal food supplies are not readily available. The items are practical and easily incorporated into the daily diet. The food systems are formulated to sustain one person for a variety of months and or years. All systems are assembled to supply both long and short-term food storage needs.
The exclusive "just-add-water" Gourmet Supreme™ is easy to prepare with no cooking required. Items featured include, "eat-as-is" or just add hot and/or cold water for re-hydrating.
All system and individual items are packaged in #10 cans (approximately one gallon) or #2 1/2 cans (approximately one quart). The cans are constructed of heavy-gauge steel with food grade enamel coating on the inside. A "state of the art" oxygen absorber is placed in each can to insure the very best shelf-life. All systems will also come with 1 plastic lid per item at no cost. When ordering individual items 2 plastic lids per case will be included at no cost.
