High energy biscuits (HEB) are food ration bars containing high-protein cereals and vegetable fat. Because of their high energy-to-mass ratio they are procured by the World Food Programme, the food aid branch of the United Nations, for feeding disaster victims worldwide.[1]

HEBs have been provided to a variety of geographical locations. For example, HEBs were delivered to Georgia after the 2008 South Ossetia war.[2] HEBs were also airlifted to Kenya,[3] and more recently distributed in aid in the 2010 Haiti earthquake,[4] and 80 tonnes of high energy biscuits were delivered to the Tunisian border in response to the Libyan crisis.[5]
HEBs are usually packaged in cardboard boxes weighing 10 kg each.[6]
