The Sausā Uzturdeva ("dry ration") is the official individual field ration used by the Latvian National Armed Forces. Designed to feed soldiers during operations and exercises where hot meals are not available, it combines an ultra-compact format with nutritious recipes from Baltic food traditions.
Produced to high military standards by the Latvian company SIA Kronis in collaboration with the Ministry of Defense, each ration comes in a hermetic, waterproof bag with a low-noise camouflage design, intended for use in extreme temperatures between -20 °C and +34 °C.
