Explore the fascinating story of the K-Ration, a groundbreaking innovation that fueled American soldiers during World War II. Designed by Dr. Ancel Keys, this pocket-sized field ration was created for mobile troops like paratroopers and special units who needed non-perishable, ready-to-eat meals during combat. With a breakfast, lunch, and supper unit, the ration included canned meats, biscuits, powdered drinks, and even chewing gum and cigarettes. Providing around 900–1200 calories per meal, it was ideal for short missions but unsuitable for long-term use due to its lack of fresh fruits, vegetables, and essential nutrients. By 1948, the K-Ration was retired, but its legacy influenced the design of future military rations.
