DISASTER FOOD STORAGE SUPPLIES

Do You Have One of These in Your Emergency Food Storage?
Having all of the basic emergency storage items, especially the lower half of the Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Survival Readiness Pyramid, will help to put your mind at ease. Having these “tools” for an unexpected emergency is a must. Knowing how to use them is a separate issue.
As far as food goes, the shorter-term food storage will run out in a hurry, and in a longer-term survival situation you’ll be left with the stuff that takes more preparation and creativity to tempt the palate and whet the appetite. If you’re from the fast food generation, or your lifestyle is one that never stops, you may not have some of the skills that your grandmother did. Baking homemade bread from scratch may be a foreign idea to you. But, remember, wheat is the staff of life, and grains should make up the lion’s share of your long-term food storage (about 400 lbs. per adult for one year). If you’re not Asian, you may not be eating rice nearly every day either, and you probably don’t know all of the various ways to prepare it. Beans come in a close third, but you also may not know beans about cooking these either. Sure you could get by and survive, but do you want one or two selections to be your only menu that you choose from day in and day out? Heavens, no! It’s bad enough to be in a survival situation (although think positive, it, too shall pass), you want to eat as well as you can.
This is where a food storage cookbook full of recipes designed to accommodate all of the so-called “boring” ingredients in your long-term food storage comes in handy and gives true meaning to making variety the spice of life. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with what you can do with wheat, rice, and beans, and all of the other goodies you’ve so faithfully stored away, but not given much thought to making a tasty meal out of.
Having all of your food supplies, but being limited in what you know how to do with them would be a real travesty should the need arise to use them. It would be an excellent idea to break out some of the emergency food storage now and start experimenting with some recipes. Rotate out some of the items that are nearest expiration, and make this your dress rehearsal. It is better to hone your skills now than to spend your time practicing when people are depending on you to lighten their load with good eats during trying times. You may not be able to turn water into wine, but with a food storage cookbook and practice, you’ll surely be able to turn the ordinary into something extraordinary!
