Halal Rations As The Solution For Many

By Helene Norris


Several hikers, backpackers and Muslim members of the military must have a good meal that is based on their religious guidelines. This kind of preparation is known among these people as halal rations. Each bundle must be lightweight and easy to prepare to be carried whenever and wherever. This is basically the main solution of their concerns regarding the preparation of their food.

This meal is useful in times of war, famine or disaster and when giving humanitarian reliefs to the victims of calamities. As their religion is strict about their food preparation, the people preparing must not forget to apply the necessary rules based on beliefs. They mostly have good fruits, grains and vegetables. It is usually healthier to give them good life.

There is no alcohol involved and any meat must be butchered properly according to the traditional rules and regulations. Any coloring, flavoring or processing aid can make the food unclean and not good to eat. They will also be forbidden if an unclean equipment is used or when mixing it with forbidden ingredients.

Many believer that kosher preparation is identical to Muslim rules and guidelines but it is not. The two are different in ways of preparation or in other areas. When having a processed meal, there can be a possibility of mixing alcohol or any other flavorings which may not be applicable among them. The way they kill an animal is also different from that of Muslims. Some kosher ingredients may also forbid the Muslims to eat the food.

This type of meal is the greatest solution for all the military personnel. They mostly called it ready to eat bundles because of the way it is prepared. They packaged it to be used instantly. These are mixed drinks, snacks, side dishes and of course the main menu. They can either eat it cold or heat the container.

A person will only need to boil water in the container then drop the bundle in for few minutes. They can also heat the food through sitting it in the sun for half an hour or lay it on top of a hot engine for ten hours. The bundle is compact and lightweight making them very easy to carry. It can also be heated easily and quickly or just eaten cold.

The military men and women mostly have then during combat or in the field. Some people especially hikers and camper have this package as well. This food is perfect especially during wars or disasters or when having a long journey. Other nations are practicing the standard processes of preparing these religious meals for their soldiers. The exact number of meals will depend on the total soldiers assigned.

During the process of preparation, any religious practices are not forgotten. There is not risk of putting any forbidden ingredients to the meal. They are not using preservatives as well. This food package mostly have higher calories to give the military men the needed nutrition in their battles and to make them alert and active.

The halal rations are not only for these men as some manufacturers are producing meals with lesser calories for other non soldiers that want to have and eat them. It is greatly useful among them during camping or hiking. These manufacturers are also considering all the religious regulations during preparation.
