What about the way to store this food?

What do you suggest?

Taken from the Red Cross

* Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables. (Be sure to include a manual can opener)
* Canned juices, milk and soup (if powdered, store extra water).
* High energy foods, such as peanut butter, jelly, crackers, granola bars and trail mix.
* Comfort foods, such as hard candy, sweetened cereals, candy bars and cookies.
* Instant coffee, tea bags.
* Foods for infants, elderly persons or persons on special diets, if necessary.
* Compressed food bars. They store well, are lightweight, taste good and are nutritious.
* Trail mix. It is available as a prepackaged product or you can assemble it on your own.
* Dried foods. They can be nutritious and satisfying, but have some have a lot of salt content, which promotes thirst. Read the label.
* Freeze-dried foods. They are tasty and lightweight, but will need water for reconstitution.
* Instant Meals. Cups of noodles or cups of soup are a good addition, although they need water for reconstitution.
* Snack-sized canned goods. Good because they generally have pull-top lids or twist-open keys.
* Prepackaged beverages. Those in foil packets and foil-lined boxes are suitable because they are tightly sealed and will keep for a long time.

Food Options to Avoid:

* Commercially dehydrated foods. They can require a great deal of water for reconstitution and extra effort in preparation.
* Bottled foods. They are generally too heavy and bulky, and break easily.
* Meal-sized canned foods. They are usually bulky and heavy.
* Whole grains, beans, pasta. Preparation could be complicated under the circumstances of a disaster.



I am with the poster above. Honey!


Here's the deal, nothing you might buy, will last forever.
I say....buy seeds and start growing stuff that easily reproduces.
